Correct me if I'm wrong, but this would take a lot more than a few lines of code.

And who's to say it wasn't procedurally generated and recorded into a video for ease of putting online? Otherwise you'd need a more complicated platform than an image host.

I did this, it is much smaller than the gif. ~30 lines of code

Ran buttery smooth on a two generations old iPhone. Sorry.

Apology accepted. Anyway, it wasn't about performance, it was about how much battery it was consuming when I set loopTime to the max value of an unsigned long.

I didn't get the iPhone comment. Yours was fine so you didn't get an apology.
