Really nice. What rendering engine or library do you use?

  This looks homegrown. The source code [1] is fairly readable. New dots seem to enter the world in the position of the last dot placed but below them. Position and size seem to follow a simple linear movement between frames. I wonder though, why is this done with canvas instead of SVG. Just to cut down on the number of DOM elements?

    It's canvas. SVG would still need to insert DOM elements and would probably start displaying performance problems at 5000 elements or so.

    I don't know why an experiment like this would be minified. It would be much more interesting with well-commented source.
