In this old post Carl Riis suggested generative art to the those who seek ideas for programming projects. It relies on simple libraries, provides ample opportunity to learn, and is visually rewarding.
This is more or less what we did on home computers when playing with graphics primitives in BASIC to generate nice or interesting visual patterns.
This strategy copies the canvas into a buffer after the draw call, and draws the buffer into the canvas at the beginning of the draw call. The buffer is drawn with 99% alpha, which results in a smooth fade out.. But only in Firefox!
Chrome and Safari still exhibit the ugly gray trails..
I thought of modifying the canvas' imageData to achieve a smooth fade, but my fps is tanking just thinking about it 😅
Anyone got ideas on how to fade out a canvas - slowly?
The simple method is to – instead of clearing the canvas between draw calls, filling it with a transparent black rectangle. But with very low opacity settings, this leaves dark gray color areas instead of eventually fading to black.
It just looks ugly, so I tried another strategy here:

I've been experimenting with stacked modulus patterns of color gradients based on Orion Gris by Vasarely. I truncated them into different size grids to see what patterns emerge. Some cool stuff happened when I converted one image to grayscale. I stumbled upon a really neat #opticalillusion. The discontinuous vertical columns of darker squares appear to be tilted left. It's cool knowing why, too, after all my recent studies. It also has a cool woven appearance.
