# Proximity Structures
|
|
|
|
A procedurally generated and interactive animation created with
|
|
[PixiJS](http://www.pixijs.com/).
|
|
|
|
Play with it here: [http://proximity.hallada.net](http://proximity.hallada.net)

|
|
|
|
A number of points are placed randomly on a canvas. They move in random
|
|
directions with their own movement behavior. Each is assigned a random color. If
|
|
other points travel close enough, a connection is drawn between them and each
|
|
point's color becomes an average of all of its connected points' colors.
|
|
|
|
### Interaction
|
|
|
|
Your mouse on the canvas will repel points away, but clicking and holding will
|
|
attract points towards your mouse until you let go, which will cause the points
|
|
to explode outwards in all directions.
|
|
|
|
Scrolling your mouse will speed up or slow down time.

### Tweaking
|
|
|
|
There are many more configurable values that affect the animation which don't
|
|
have an interaction or keybinding. You can find all of these at the top of
|
|
[`proximity.js`](/js/proximity.js). If you are feeling experimental, you can
|
|
clone the repo and edit those yourself.
