This isn't really an obfu, but it seemed more appropriate to put it here than anywhere else. It's my first attempt at anything like this.

It requires an 80 character width screen, and because of the 'cls' needs windows. Should work on *nix with a 'clear' though.

It prints an animated fractal ascii-art tree blowing in the wind.

Any comments welcome. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
while(1){$:=' 'x2E3;$a+=.01;$b+=.03;$~=(sin$a+sin$b)/10+.2;system(
"cls");t(40.5,0,-11/7);print$:}sub t{my($x,$y,$d,$D)=@_;($x,$y)=l(
$x,$y,$d,11/++$D);$D<4||return;t($x,$y,$d-.6-$~*$d,$D);t($x,$y,$d+
.6-$~*$d,$D--)}sub l{my($x,$y)=@_;for(0..pop) {p($x+=cos$_[2],$y+=
sin$_[2])}($x,$y)}sub p{substr($:,int(pop)*80+int(pop),1)='#'}
