To pass the time in my IT class, I scripted this nice rainbow animation. Here's the code: http://pastebin.com/YL5rEicS

I wrote the program in moonscript, then converted it to lua for CC. I would consider it a bit more readable, so if you're curious, here's the moonscript:

Spoiler

local *

time = 0
period = 0.05
updateTimer = os.startTimer period

local rainbow
with colors
  rainbow = {
    .black
    .red
    .orange
    .yellow
    .green
    .blue
    .purple
    .black
  }

draw = ->
  with term
    w,h = term.getSize!
    for x=1, w
      for i=1, #rainbow
        .setBackgroundColor rainbow[i]
        for y=i*3 - 2, i*3
          y += math.sin(x / 15 + time) * 3
          .setCursorPos x, y
          .write ' '

while true
  _, timer = os.pullEvent 'timer'
  if timer == updateTimer
    draw!

    time += 0.5
    updateTimer = os.startTimer period

Yeah, it is pretty short, haha.

term.getSize!

Da faq?

In moonscript, you can use an exclamation mark in place of parentheses. I'll just edit the OP with a link to the moonscript docs if anyone else has any questions about the code.

I edited this program a bit, changing the colors to light blue, blue, and the rest cyan

I then built a room out of monitors running thsse with a sand floor, put a stair inside and pretended like it was a chair

So I can sit in that room and pretend I am on a tiny island with a crazy storm going on, thanks for this amazing program! haha

Uhmm do you think you can upload some screenshots?
I'm quite interested to check this out since... RAINBOWS! :3

[Kingdaro]

Yeah, I'll upload screenshots when I can.
