The best part of Winamp visualisations, was that you could code/customise your own visualisations [1]. With a few equations and some variables in a limited context (frame, loop, pixel) you could create wild things. It was the first time I was exposed to this type of programming of simple "shaders".

I remember being blown away by the dancing bear from Lionhead Studios[1]. It was promotional material for their video game Black & White.

This was my favorite visualizer growing up.

Is there a webgl version of this like we have for Milkdrop?
