Martin Kleppe is known for all his code golfing experiments. And his recent example just blew my mind. I can't even think of how I'd approach coding something like this thing below. 🤯

HTML

<!-- All kudos to Martin Kleppe -->
<pre id=p style=background:#0a1922><svg onload='setInterval(f=n=>{for(t++,o=i=1;i++<476;o+=i%30?([(f+"")[i%195],"o"][c=0|(h=v=>(M=Math).hypot(i/30-8+3*M.sin(t/8/v),i%30/2-7+4*M.cos(t/9/v)))(7)*h(9)*h(6)/52]||".").fontcolor(c?c>2:n):"\n");p.innerHTML=o},t=1)'></pre><!-- All kudos to Martin Kleppe -->
