lolcat maps its rainbow gradient into the 2d dimensions of the terminal smoothly, so that neighbouring lines get similar colours. For example (comparison):

It would be nice to do the same thing lolcat does, to have it look something like this instead:

This probably means switching from the generator-based rgb_gen to some sort of function of terminal coodinates.
