The Juggler3D "screensaver" https://linux.die.net/man/6/juggler3d can also be run manually with a pattern, and it will attempt to show a stick figure juggling with that pattern.



I first saw this through xscreensaver and was very impressed. At least as it's packaged for Arch, xscreensaver brings in loads of weird, fun, mind-expanding screensavers. It's always a surprise. I'm not sure if other distributions' packages pull in the full set of screensavers by default, but I imagine you can find them regardless.


I hadn't seen this in OpenGL... it's nice to see some good open source simulators. I do remember a much older (than 2009 or even 2002) version called Juggle that ran on HPUX, but it may have been written in pascal and it certainly didn't render the man.


And my brother uses Juggling Lab to look at the simulations.
