Go with the flow.

Paint with fluid. Play with sound.
Make something that only exists for a moment.

↝Drag to stir. Stay for a while.

A canvas with
a mind of its own.

Every color is carried by a moving fluid. Your gestures add dye and momentum; the simulation does the rest.

01 / Motion

A fluid solver moves velocity and color through a two-dimensional flow field.

02 / Pressure

22 pressure iterations per frame push the flow toward incompressibility. Vorticity confinement keeps the eddies alive.

03 / Connection

People in the same room exchange live gestures through the server. Each device renders its own fluid, using the GPU when available or a CPU fallback. Canvases can evolve differently.

04 / Sound

Turn sound on and paint. Horizontal position picks a note; movement shapes its volume and tone. Nothing is recorded by your microphone.
