Forked from Mathematical Graphic Patterns

White particles emerge and age on a black canvas, growing in number until a threshold is reached, after which the particles themselves enlarge, gradually overtaking the space. This cycle visually simulates static and bacterial invasion as remaining black flecks become more prominent before vanishing. The animation uses JavaScript with a Canvas `getContext`, `requestAnimationFrame`, and the `arc` path for drawing particles, with randomness controlling their placement.

AI-generated description

Forked from Curran Kelleher's Mathematical Graphic Patterns, this invasion-themed visualization is inspired by graphical static and bacterial growth.

Particles are continuously and randomly drawn to simulate static. The particles age with time; once the particles reach the end of their lifespan, a new cycle begins with a greater number of particles to simulate growth.

Once the particle count has reached a threshold, they no longer multiply. Instead, the particles increase in size, leading to a gradual white-out effect. As the white particles dominate the area, the remaining flecks of black become most prominent until eventually nothing but white remains.

Despite the use of random numbers, interesting patterns can sometimes emerge between the ever-growing white particles and the empty black space they fill.

Connected Particles II

A field of 100 small particles drifts vertically on a dark canvas, with translucent gray circles drawn between any pair that comes within 100 pixels of each other. As particles move, their connecting arcs fade in and out based on proximity, creating a shifting network of temporary links. The animation runs via a custom d3-timer loop, using Canvas arc and fill operations per frame. Each particle’s horizontal position is fixed, while vertical velocity varies randomly, causing them to wrap around the edges.

Connected Particles

A field of one thousand particles drifts vertically on a dark canvas, with each particle’s size varying according to its speed to suggest depth. Thin curved lines connect nearby particles, with opacity fading as the distance between pairs grows beyond a minimum threshold. This animated piece uses D3.js for its timer and the Canvas API for all drawing, implementing a custom algorithm that updates vertical positions and wraps particles around the screen edges.

Untitled

This visualization shows a simulated swarm of glowing particles that respond to mouse movement, creating a dynamic, organic flow across the screen. The particles are governed by a physics system using `d3.forceSimulation` with forces for centering, collision, and velocity, while each particle’s position and trail are drawn on an HTML5 `<canvas>` via `requestAnimationFrame`. The code uses `d3.scaleLinear` to map distance and speed to color and opacity, and the mouse interaction adjusts the simulation’s force strengths in real time. The rendering relies entirely on canvas 2D context methods like `arc` and `fillRect`, with a dark background from `styles.css`.

Blobbing Particles IV

Three layers of colored particles—green, blue, and red—drift smoothly across the canvas, merging into blobby clusters within each layer while remaining visually distinct across layers. Each particle is a radial-gradient circle clipped to a distance-limited Voronoi cell, so nearby particles appear to fuse together. The animation uses d3.distanceLimitedVoronoi to compute cell boundaries, SimplexNoise to drive continuous movement, and D3 transitions to update positions and opacity in real time, creating a fluid, organic swarm effect.

Fork of Mathematical Graphic Patterns

This animated canvas piece generates a shifting grid of glowing colored circles that ripple outward in a spiral formation, creating a dynamic, screensaver-like visual effect. The pattern continuously redraws over a semi-transparent black background, leaving faint trails as the positions and radii of the circles evolve over time. Rendering uses the Canvas 2D API with `getContext('2d')` and `requestAnimationFrame` for smooth animation. Each circle’s color, size, and location are computed from sine and cosine functions of grid coordinates and a steadily incrementing time variable, producing a complex, mathematically driven display.

Connected Particles III

This example renders 200 particles as small circles on an HTML5 Canvas, with each particle moving via a random walk that includes velocity damping. Lines connect pairs of particles whenever their distance is less than 60 pixels, with line opacity varying based on proximity, turning fully opaque below 40 pixels. The simulation uses a custom timer based on `requestAnimationFrame`, and the drawing relies on Canvas methods like `beginPath`, `arc`, `moveTo`, and `lineTo`. Both particle positions and connection lines are updated each frame, creating a dynamic web of interactions.

Mathematical Graphic Patterns

This animated canvas visualization generates evolving geometric patterns from a grid of circles. Each frame, the code computes positions and radii using trigonometric functions of time and grid coordinates, creating swirling, morphing shapes with shifting colors. The animation runs continuously via `requestAnimationFrame`, with a semi-transparent black overlay (Canvas `fillRect`) producing trailing motion blur effects. The canvas resizes dynamically to fit the window, and all rendering uses the native Canvas 2D API, including `arc` and `fill` for circle drawing. No external libraries are used; the math-driven design follows the original MIT tutorial’s approach.

static-transition

A set of four parallel line charts displaying randomly generated data, with each chart independently redrawn every five seconds. The charts are rendered in SVG using D3's line generator and axes. Superimposed on top is a translucent canvas layer that constantly draws random black and white rectangles, creating a static-like visual noise effect. During each transition, the canvas alternately switches between drawing only black squares with a larger size and then both colors with a smaller size, while the underlying SVG charts update.
