How I Built This
This project explores the intersection of particle systems and typography. The core idea is simple: each letter is represented by hundreds of particles that flow and reform based on user interaction.
Technical Approach
I used HTML5 Canvas for rendering and a custom physics engine for particle movement. Each particle has mass, velocity, and is attracted to its target position on the letter form. The easing function is a simple lerp with damping — nothing exotic, but the cumulative effect of thousands of particles makes it feel alive.
