These things are great, I have always thought it would be a great resource to have a library of them that are creative commons.
There doesn't appear to be a name for what they are however. Concept-expressed-as-code-generated-animation that-is-sometimes-interactive is a bit longwinded. Ceacgatisi is a bit of a mouthful.
The idea that it should have a name is not as trivial as it might seem. If these things had a name it would stimulate development of new ones. "I'll make an X" "Let's see if there's an X for that concept".
The odd thing is it would probably be best if a name used for the idea didn't actually express what the idea was. An abstract name that allowed the idea to form naturally rather than directing a specific manner. Much in a similar way to Kodi is an abstract name rather than the descriptive (but inaccurate) XBMC.
