Remember the "flying windows" screensaver from the 90s? I remember it from my elementary school. I also remember the pipes screensaver around the same time. They were both mesmerizing. For the pipes screensaver, I was always waiting to see when the computer figured out that the screen was "filled up" with pipes and cleared the screen to start over. And with the flying windows screensaver, I was always waiting for one of the flying windows to fly right through the middle, though it never did.

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to recreate this classic screensaver from Windows 3.1 using JavaScript and THREE.js because...why not?
