This is great - seems to be the same effect of hiding a shape using an animated noise pattern on a background of static noise. They even provide the source code for the effect: https://github.com/brantagames/noise-shader https://github.com/brantagames/noise-shader

First time seeing this, makes me smile involuntarily.

This is great. The sphere example looks especially pleasing. It also reminds me of the game The Voidness.

Yes - I was thinking of this. It solves various complicated problems such as rendering distance information in this format.

Interesting that the perception of objects/text does not disappear immediately, there is smooth fade out.

Not really a game, but neat all the same. It reminds me of the mid-1990s video game Magic Carpet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Carpet_(video_game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Carpet_(video_game) This was a pseudo-3D game and on an ordinary display it used perspective to simulate 3D like most games. If you had 3D goggles it could use them, but I didn't. However, it could do a true 3D display on a 2D monitor using a random-dot stereogram. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_dot_stereogram https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_dot_stereogram If you have depth perception and are able to see RDS autostereograms, then Magic Carpet did an animated one. It was a wholly remarkable affect, but for me anyway, it was really hard to watch. It felt like it was trying to rotate my eyeballs in their sockets. Very impressive, but essentially unplayable and I could only watch for a minute or two before I couldn't stand the discomfort any more.

  I played the game, but had no idea about that feature. Also playable in the browser: https://playclassic.games/games/action-dos-games-online/play-magic-carpet-online/play/ https://playclassic.games/games/action-dos-games-online/play...

  Good one. Just found the game I was trying to find for the initial comment: "No Signal" (https://www.tiktok.com/@teekenng/video/7520954215116639496 https://www.tiktok.com/@teekenng/video/7520954215116639496) Really clever use of a TV remote as controller.
