[Fluxus] delay

you cannot really use a delay function, because fluxus calls your 
(every-frame) function regularly. the simple trick is to change the 
generation parameters of the visuals and slow down gradually. since you 
use random functions you have to reinitialize the random generator with 
the same number to receive the same results. for example, when you run 
(random-seed 1), and use (random), it will return the same sequence each 
time. this applies to the (rndf) and (rndvec) functions of fluxus as 
well, because they are also based on (random).

this is needed when the pattern generation is slowed down and it shows 
the same pattern for several frames. you have to set the seed to the 
same number at the beginning of each frame to receive the same result.

what do you mean it cannot be run? are you getting an error?
