DESCRIPTION

Generates an infinitely-scrolling sequence of dazzle camouflage
patterns. Dazzle Ships were military vessels during World War I and
early in World War II that were painted not to conceal but to
confuse: with these Cubist overlapping stripes, it was very hard to
estimate their size, range and heading. This was a big deal before
the invention of Radar.
