Description:

While experimenting with creative programming I sometimes stumble upon new project possibilities. This is a simple mouse tracer (move your mouse within the black area) in which the user controls the variables.

It’s still a work in progress but it has the potential of allowing users to upload their own images, save their settings and preferences and share their creations with others. I also plan to complete the help section, for which there is a button but nothing else.

The variables may be a bit cryptic, but hopefully they will invite user experimentation. It is possible to create settings that are very processor intensive, causing even fast computers to run slowly. If you experience this, wait for a moment while moving your mouse out of the black area. Have fun.
