Instructions
A StarField is a collection of ordered pairs in a canvas, arranged according to a particular type of generation: random placement, ascending, etc. Our sorting methods will place the stars in ascending order from left to right, and the process, when animated, will ilustrate the sorting algorithm.
To create a new StarField:
- Design the canvas and stars:
- Canvas: Light or Dark Theme (Coming soon!)
- Stars: Size and number
- Click the Apply button
- (The page will reload to accept the change, and load a default random-fill StarField)
- Design the StarField Generation:
- Random
- Ascending
- Descending
- Wave
- Random Wave
- Add (Multiple) StarField Tweaking Options:
- Center Jitter
- Random Level
- Random Ripple
- Save the StarField Design
- Cookies are used to store some data
- JSON is used to store larger groups of data (StarField values)
- If you navigate away from the page, the information will be retained and reloaded to the canvas
- Clearing, Loading, Resetting
- Clear Canvas will clear the canvas, but not persistent memory values
- The 'Load' button will load currently-stored design into the canvas
- 'Reset Defaults' will clear persistent memory and create a 250-star Random Fill Design and load it into the canvas, and save it to persistent memory
