# 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.
|
|
|
|
### Keybindings
|
|
|
|
| Key | Action |
|
|
| ----- | --------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| left | hold to restrict points to the left of the screen |
|
|
| right | hold to restrict points to the right of the screen |
|
|
| up | hold to restrict points to the top of the screen |
|
|
| down | hold to restrict points to the bottom of the screen |
|
|
| 1 | makes points move linearly |
|
|
| 2 | makes points meander |
|
|
| 3 | makes points snappy |
|
|
| 4 | makes points bouncy |
|
|
| 5 | makes points elastic |
|
|
| 6 | makes points overshoot |
|
|
| f | toggles FPS counter |
|
|
| d | toggles debug mode (including FPS counter) |
|
|
| n | toggles display of nodes |
|
|
| l | toggles display of lines |
|
|
|
|
### 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.
