The typical Chinese sources have been selling "digital hourglass" type ornaments that work like this for a while. There was a whole game based on this sort of thing back on the Acorn Archimedes: Cataclysm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Byyz1Vlv8w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Byyz1Vlv8w It got remade for the 360, but the original was regarded at the time as surprisingly impressive for the machines it was running on.

Is there a Digital Disco Ball?

  You could make a bad analogue of such a thing using WLED - although as many people have observed it has a tendency of turning anything anywhere into looking like a vape shop. The problem is so much of the effect of a disco ball is irregular directional beams reflecting off it, which would be hard to do.

Wow what a cool retro fluid simulation game! Oxygen Not Included simulates a whole bunch of different kinds of fluids and gasses, and has a sandbox mode and debug tools. I love using it as a kidpix-like painting tool, just to see how all the different materials interact. https://youtu.be/U0MevBWyfS8?t=295 https://youtu.be/U0MevBWyfS8?t=295
