      thank you! seems someone else already tagged you, but here's the link to source just in case: https://codeberg.org/aketawi-study/rust-constellation-bgr/

      The basic idea is that I spawn a bunch of nodes with rando m velocitins and check the distance between each other at every frame. If the distance is within a certain radius, draw a line.

      To display it in the background I just have a script that launches it on startup, and a couple of rules in AwesomeWM and picom to make it transparent, unfocusable and borderless
