On every frame a random set of +pixels is chosen. Each chosen pixel calculates the average of its color and the +color of a random neighbor. Some random color drift is added in as well. It +replaces its own color with that calculated color. + +Choosing a neighbor is done using the "asteroid rule", ie a pixel at the very +top row is considered to be the neighbor of the pixel on the bottom row of the +same column. + +Without the asteroid rule the pixels would all eventually converge into a single +uniform color, generally a light blue, due to the colors at the edge, the reds, +being quickly averaged away. With the asteroid rule in place the canvas has no +edges, thus no position on the canvas is favored and balance can be maintained. + +<script type="text/javascript"> +let rectSize = 12; + +function randn(n) { + return Math.floor(Math.random() * n); +} + +let canvas = document.getElementById("canvas"); +canvas.width = window.innerWidth - (window.innerWidth % rectSize); +canvas.height = window.innerHeight- (window.innerHeight % rectSize); +let ctx = canvas.getContext("2d"); + +let w = canvas.width / rectSize; +let h = canvas.height / rectSize; + +let matrices = new Array(2); +matrices[0] = new Array(w); +matrices[1] = new Array(w); +for (let x = 0; x < w; x++) { + matrices[0][x] = new Array(h); + matrices[1][x] = new Array(h); + for (let y = 0; y < h; y++) { + let el = { + h: 360 * (x / w), + s: "100%", + l: "50%", + }; + matrices[0][x][y] = el; + matrices[1][x][y] = el; + } +} + +// draw initial canvas, from here on out only individual rectangles will be +// filled as they get updated. +for (let x = 0; x < w; x++) { + for (let y = 0; y < h; y++) { + let el = matrices[0][x][y]; + ctx.fillStyle = `hsl(${el.h}, ${el.s}, ${el.l})`; + ctx.fillRect(x * rectSize, y * rectSize, rectSize, rectSize); + } +} + + +let requestAnimationFrame = + window.requestAnimationFrame || + window.mozRequestAnimationFrame || + window.webkitRequestAnimationFrame || + window.msRequestAnimationFrame; + +let neighbors = [ + [-1, -1], [0, -1], [1, -1], + [-1, 0], [1, 0], + [-1, 1], [0, 1], [1, 1], +]; + +function randNeighborAsteroid(matrix, x, y) { + let neighborCoord = neighbors[randn(neighbors.length)]; + let neighborX = x+neighborCoord[0]; + let neighborY = y+neighborCoord[1]; + neighborX = (neighborX + w) % w; + neighborY = (neighborY + h) % h; + return matrix[neighborX][neighborY]; +} + +function randNeighbor(matrix, x, y) { + while (true) { + let neighborCoord = neighbors[randn(neighbors.length)]; + let neighborX = x+neighborCoord[0]; + let neighborY = y+neighborCoord[1]; + if (neighborX < 0 || neighborX >= w || neighborY < 0 || neighborY >= h) { + continue; + } + return matrix[neighborX][neighborY]; + } +} + +let drift = 10; +function genChildH(elA, elB) { + // set the two h values, h1 <= h2 + let h1 = elA.h; + let h2 = elB.h; + if (h1 > h2) { + h1 = elB.h; + h2 = elA.h; + } + + // diff must be between 0 (inclusive) and 360 (exclusive).
