Description
Frozen precipitation physics simulator.
Marvel as it seemingly simulates the Coriolis effect, convection currents, and turbulent flow dynamics, and pulls real-time wind speed data from Winnipeg, Canada; then look at the source code and marvel again as you realize it doesn't do any of those things! Thanks to smurfier for helping achieve the absurd performance it has.
• Magically low CPU utilization.
• Runs at 40 frames per second.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Aren't there programs out there written in native code that do the same thing, only faster and while using less resources?
A: Yes, but Rainmeter.
Q: How is that a valid rea...
A: RAINMETER!!!

- Lua optimizations.
