Anyone remember this video test that would occur before some older windows games? I've always been so curious about it. Does the dancing image actually mean anything? Why's it jiggling? It seems so bizarre.🤔

It's the WinG video profiler, it does this to exhaustively measure which functions run the fastest and will do this after a display driver switch.

Hey, awesome, thanks for labeling it, I didn't know what WinG was. And yeah, all of the games I knew about that did this test are listed here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinG.
