I made little animation in JS for you to watch (just because coding is 010001100101010101001110 =)

Here you have it: http://www.mrkoka.pl/NETWORK/

 

You can play around with the URL and use some variables to customize colors and amount of cells:

 

MAX_CELLS

COLORON

COLOROFF

COLORBG

 

examples:

LTT theme colors:

http://www.mrkoka.pl/NETWORK/?COLORON=FFF&COLOROFF=DB4105&COLORBG=0B0B0B&MAX_CELLS=500

Appearing cells:

That's pretty cool. I especially like when it rearranges itself, it's so fluent. Are the cells distributed randomly?

[Linedsaucer]

Awesome, I was planning to learn javascript this summer and now I have something to work towards.

[ind3x]

that's actually really awesome.

Oddly satisfying...

Yes thay are, every page refresh and at the end when they're rearranging.

Yeah, I couldn't stop look at it too.

So this is Plexus JS edition?

 

if only active desktop was still a thing..

I don't know Plexus, I googled some, but found not much, about active desktop - ikr? I used to have animation of binary clock on my wallpaper

your js.js script has exactly 420 lines

Nice catch, what a coincidence :]

my laptop really didn't like a million 10^6 dots, i ran at 1 FPS, but probably WAY lower. More then 10000 already kinda let the fps down to 5, but a million really is not recommended. really a nice piece of code!

Thanks ;] The more dots the more it looks like a clean wave. But to be honest, I haven't tried more than 1000 - I don't know why... But sure I will.

 

Edit: Now when I have try it, I think I know why I might have stop at 1000, it's 7 FPS already

I made some improvements and now I can run 2000 dot's with 20fps, as I mentioned before I had 7 fps with 1000 dots. (The thing is that lines are problem, not the dots, now I pack them up and draw many at once instead one by one, but no more 420 )

420 sounds like a good number for that, fuck real optimalisation:P

Runs like a dog, can't even hit 60fps with 1 cell. Any reason you're not using requestAnimationFrame?

It is running at 1000/60 + frame render time, this is why it will never be 60, I am aware of that. There is no particular reason for not using requestAnimationFrame, it's not project of sending man to the moon, it's just something done in "fever of evening boredom".

I wasn't aware a lunar excursion was necessary motivation for doing something right; in any case it's significantly less than 60, suggesting there are other optimization problems beyond just the frame scheduler (or lack thereof).

I guess setTiemout wasn't ideal solution of drawing dots on the screen requestAnimationFrame runs slightly better, it's probably more browser friendly too. Thanks for pointing that out it's always few FPS more just by changing one line .

you didn't specify what encoding that binary was.

 

Here's it in x86 assembly
