One of the youtubers [0] I follow uses a Delaunay triangulation pattern on points that I _think_ are doing a random walk as their intro screen. There's something very satisfying about this pattern. I'm not sure how the choice of colour for the triangles is made, but I could watch it as a screen saver all day. [0] Sebastian Lague - ▶ this video
