Canvas Animation: Particle Emitter #1

An interactive particle emitter animation. At the centre of the page is a canvas element displaying particles emitted from the centre and moving outward in random directions. These particles are rendered as white squares on a dark, semi-transparent background, creating a dynamic and visually engaging effect.

The animation can be modified through two slider controls:

Particle Count: Adjusts the total number of particles displayed in the animation.
Max Particle Size: Determines the maximum size of individual particles.

The animation is powered by JavaScript and utilizes the requestAnimationFrame method. Particles are generated with randomized velocities and lifespans, adding to the natural and organic feel of the simulation. Each particle originates from the centre of the canvas and moves outward, fading away as it reaches the end of its life-cycle.

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.
