What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 4 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2011
Yuri Vishnevsky's generative art toy: each stroke of the mouse or finger seeds flowing, glowing lines of colour across a dark screen.
Vishnevsky, then a student at Rutgers, raised money on Kickstarter in January 2011 for a tablet and phone version. Later versions added mirror symmetry and sound design by Mat Jarvis.
In 2011: In January, Vishnevsky began a Kickstarter for a tablet and phone version. Drawings could already be sped up, replayed and shared.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
Net Art: Websites that are artworks, by people who saw the browser as a canvas.
