Tucked into the nav between Tags and wherever you usually end up — there's a new /art page.

It's a gallery of interactive experiments. Not demos. Not tutorials. Just things that are interesting to look at and play with for a minute before moving on with your day.

Four pieces to start:

Flow Field — hundreds of particles following a noise vector field. Move your mouse and watch the whole thing bend around it. Never makes the same painting twice.

Life — Conway's Game of Life, but cells age through a color gradient so you can see which patterns have been alive longest. Click to draw your own seeds in.

Gravity — place colored gravity wells anywhere on the screen. Particles spawn from the edges and fall into orbit. Right-click a well to remove it. Build a little solar system. Watch it collapse.

Boids — two hundred birds, three rules. They don't know about each other — each one just avoids getting too close, tries to match heading, steers toward the middle of the flock. Move your mouse in and scatter them. Watch them reform.

No login. No loading screens. Just open one, play for a bit, hit the back link when you're done.

More coming.
