    Here's the javascript code with a few small improvements...

for(j=3e3;a=j--/159;x.arc(960,540,430+60*S(j/477+a*4)*(S(a-t)/2+.5)**9,a,a))x.lineWidth=29

    Thanks for posting these, I love reading the breakdown since the dweet itself is usually incomprehensibly complex (then again, I don't know javascript). I love tinycode challenges, they really force you to learn the ins and outs of a language so that you can squeeze extra functionality out of each character/byte.

      Thanks, I have learned so much about javascript from doing these. Though it's not proper style I think it's a really fun way to learn.

    I keep seeing the word "dweet" but it's never defined. I assume it's a JS snippet that can be embedded in a tweet?

      It is a term used by the website dwitter where people post 140 character javascript demos: https://www.dwitter.net/ I think it is derived from demo + tweet, a demo that fits in a tweet.
