DESCRIPTION
Generates an infinitely-scrolling sequence of dazzle camouflage pat-
terns. Dazzle Ships were military vessels during World War I and early
in World War II that were painted not to conceal but to confuse: with
these Cubist overlapping stripes, it was very hard to estimate their
size, range and heading. This was a big deal before the invention of
Radar.
