Interactive Particles

A p5.js particle field that chases and swirls around the cursor with cool-toned trails, glow, and live connection webs.

How It Works

  • Particles accelerate toward a moving attractor (cursor or autonomous orbital point).
  • A close-range repel force and tangential swirl produce fluid, orbiting motion.
  • Each particle keeps a short trail history rendered as weighted curve vertices.
  • Nearby particles draw lightweight connection lines for evolving mesh structure.
