 The initial value of T is treated as a parameter, which, when well-chosen, can produce amazing effects.Some of these, later (re)discovered on the LISP machine, have been christened munching triangles (try AND for XOR and toggling points instead of plotting them), munching w's, and munching mazes.More generally, suppose a graphics program produces an impressive and ever-changing display of some basic form, "foo", on a display terminal, and does it using a relatively simple program; then the program (or the resulting display) is likely to be referred to as munching "foos".
