I don't know if it's my memory failing me, but something about it feels a little bit off. I looked at videos on YouTube and I think it's because of the timing.

I don't know if it's my memory failing me, but something about it feels a little bit off. I looked at videos on YouTube and I think it's because of the timing. I get the impression that right now it's moving much faster than it did originally. Does anyone else get the same feeling? In any case, it's still fun! A great bit of nostalgia. Personally, I was a bigger fan of the maze [0]. Although watching this video made me a little dizzy. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRL5durPleI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRL5durPleI

I felt the same way. Also, I feel like I remember that the windows version avoided occluding the camera moreso than this one does. Incidentally, your link goes to the 3d maze screen saver. This one is pipes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trdGmt0934s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trdGmt0934s

Original pipes didn't have knots did it? And there's some pipes that come out through other pipes which I don't think happened in the original. Very cool implementation though.

  As in spheres at the corners? I remember it having those. Some corners had them and some didn't, same as in this.

    I think it only had spheres to terminate each pipe.

    I think it was a setting.

      Yep: http://i.imgur.com/mWXqZh0.png http://i.imgur.com/mWXqZh0.png "Elbow" is just an L-shaped joint. "Ball" is the spheres. "Mixed" is a random choice per-joint. "Cycle" means successive screens will use different choices.

        Given your tweets I had expected a screenshot in a browser ;)

        Trying to preview 3D Pipes on win95.ajf.me causes a timeout, alas.

  Old pipes did, but this version allows pipes to self-intersect, which might be what's throwing you off.

You are totally right! I forked his/her repo and added the ability to set the speed yourself. http://reimertz.github.io/pipes/ http://reimertz.github.io/pipes/
