This is the swiss army chainsaw of qix programs. It bounces a series \
of line segments around the screen, and uses variations on this basic \
each face. Don't think about it too long, or your brain will melt. \
Written by Joe Keane, Fritz Mueller, and Jamie Zawinski.
+*hacks.hyperball.documentation: \
+Hyperball is to hypercube as dodecahedron is to cube: this displays \
+a 2D projection of the sequence of 3D objects which are the projections \
+of the 4D analog to the dodecahedron. Written by Joe Keane.

This draws trippy psychedelic circular patterns that hurt to look at. \
It can also animate the control-points, but that takes a lot of CPU \
3D-izes a roaming section of your desktop, based on color intensity. \

+Zooms in on a part of the screen and then moves around. With the \
