u(t) is called 60 times per second.
t: Elapsed time in seconds.
S: Shorthand for Math.sin.
C: Shorthand for Math.cos.
T: Shorthand for Math.tan.
R: Function that generates rgba-strings, usage ex.: R(255, 255, 255, 0.5)
c: A 1920x1080 canvas.
x: A 2D context for that canvas.
Hmm, just noticed a few things. Would be smaller without with(x) since there's only two method calls. Also we don't need the 0| after the slice because the division will cast for us. So that's 7 characters.
You can also remove some parentheses and the l variable: for(c.width|=a=12;a-=3;x.fillRect(-9,6,18,-a*50))x.setTransform(r=C(θ=Date().slice(13+a,15+a)*.524/(a>3?5:1)),n=S(θ),-n,r,960,540)
