vines is a small application which draws vines on your X or SunView screen.

vines draws vines (wandering plants made up mostly of stems and leaves) on your X11 or SunView screen.

By default it draws in black and white, but color options (spring and fall) are provided.

The vines can grow across the top of your screen and down the side, down from the top of your screen until they reach the bottom, or start from the center and wander all over the screen forever.
