I think this TV static effect is more realistic than others on the web:

- Wide CRT "pixel" aspect ratio

- Larger "grains" (to match low CRT resolution)

- CRT "scan lines" (Toggle with 'C' key)

When I attempted this effect many years ago, it didn't seem possible without GPU shaders. With advances in hardware/JS performance, the CPU can easily blast a higher resolution (2560x1440) at 1000 FPS. (ENTER key to go into fullscreen mode)

Me the dad, however, fears that I'm witnessing a FPS addict being born.

What's a good Middle Way here? Kid actually building the machine all by himself -- 100% yes, even if it's quite expensive; kid then Counter Striking, Call of Dutying etc for hours on dat 27" screen -- ugh!

What complicates things is that I myself am more of a "computational minimalist" using 15 year old machines in a cli-only environment etc. I've tried to show him That Path also ("dude, here's some Turbo Pascal for ya!"), but, well, obviously he's preferring those addictive
