I saw this first here, but it appears to be a much older idea. There's some more information on the history in the Hacknernews discussion.
The colors are based on the Mindful Palette by Alex Cristache.
I love getting feedback and PRs with improvements for this, but I also want to keep this simple and the code minimal. If you want to extend the game, feel free to create your own. If you found a way to improve the collision detection (or a better way to add some randomness), feel free to open a PR.
