Canvas Animation: 404 Not Found

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, there was a web developer who wanted a silly animation for his custom 404 error page.

I'm that web developer and I was a massive Star Wars nerd as a kid. Star Wars was definitely my favourite movie, so I thought it might be nice to pay some sort of homage to it on my website in the form of an animation on my 404 error page.

Writing this JavaScript canvas animation was fun, but in hindsight, I can see why a lot of people choose to use video for this type of thing. Anyway, It's just a bit of fun and I think the animation turned out okay.

Web Demos

My web demos exist as a playground for creating experiments written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

I have previously used CodePen for experimenting with HTML/CSS/JavaScript, but in the spirit of IndieWeb POSSE, I decided to start hosting my demos myself.
