🧠💀 Brainrot Overload

A Chaotic Java GUI Experience

Overview

Brainrot Overload is a disruptive Java application designed to simulate sensory overload through erratic GUI behavior, chaotic meme bombardment, and glitchy audio effects. This project serves as an experimental test of Java Swing limitations and user experience under extreme conditions.

⚠️ Disclaimer: This application is developed for educational and research purposes. It does not cause permanent system changes and should be tested in a controlled environment (e.g., a virtual machine).

Features

Uncontrollable UI

• Borderless full-screen background (CorruptedBackgroundWindow)
• Pop-ups that:
  • Move erratically (BrainrotPopUpWindow)
  • Appear in random sizes and positions
  • Disable the mouse cursor visibility

Meme Chaos Engine

• Loads images dynamically from JAR resources (MemeManager)
• Supports .jpg and .png formats (stored in brainrot/assets/memes)
• Displays fallback text if images are unavailable

Audio Assault

• Loops WAV audio (brainrot/assets/brainrot_noise.wav)
• Handles audio playback errors gracefully

Persistent Pop-Ups

• Automatic window spawning (new pop-up every 100ms)
• Windows-only components:
  • Executable wrapper (brainrot.exe, created with Launch4j)

Installation

Requirements

• Java 8+ Runtime (for running the JAR)
• Windows OS (for EXE version)

Execution Methods

• JAR File

  java -jar brainrot.jar
  

EXE (Windows)

Simply double-click brainrot.exe

Emergency Killswitch

Press CTRL + SHIFT + X to:

• Stop all running timers
• Close all open windows
• Exit the application
• Display a restoration message

Logging System

All pop-up creations are logged in log.txt:

Technical Breakdown

Java Components

Class	Purpose
BrainrotVirus	Main controller (timers/audio)
BrainrotPopUpWindow	Erratic meme pop-ups
CorruptedBackgroundWindow	Full-screen chaotic overlay

Ethical Notice

For Educational & Research Use Only!

• ✅ No permanent system changes
• ✅ All effects terminate on killswitch or reboot
• ✅ Logs are session-specific (not persistent)

Developed to study:

• Java Swing/AWT limitations
• UX response to chaotic interfaces
• Controlled software-induced disruptions

⚠️ WARNING: This application may cause temporary frustration. Not recommended for epileptic users. Test in a virtual machine for safety.
