ASCII Blob

ASCII Blob is an interactive canvas experiment where ASCII symbols move and react to mouse interactions, creating fluid blob-like animations. Users can switch between different modes, trigger explosions, and adjust various visual parameters.

Features

• Modes:
  • Normal: Default blob behavior.
  • Vortex: Swirling motion centered around the cursor.
  • Magnet: Attracts symbols towards the cursor.
  • Mirror Mode: Activated with M key, reflects symbols around the vertical axis.
• Explosions: Right-click to trigger an ASCII explosion at the cursor.
• Shape Shifting: Press S to cycle through different shapes (Normal, Circle, Square, Flower, and Heart).
• Adjustable Parameters: Use sliders to change density, cursor size, blob speed, symbol size, and visual effects like swirl, bounce, and wave.

Controls

• Left-click: Cycle through modes (Normal, Vortex, Magnet).
• Right-click: Trigger an ASCII explosion at the current cursor position.
• Scroll: Adjust vortex strength when in Vortex mode.
• M key: Toggle Mirror mode on and off.
• S key: Cycle through different shapes (Normal, Circle, Square, Flower, and Heart).

Adjustable Settings

You can modify the following settings using sliders in the interface:

• Density: Control the number of symbols in the blob.
• Cursor Size: Change the area of effect around the mouse.
• Blob Speed: Set the fluidity and movement speed of the ASCII blob.
• Symbol Size: Adjust the size of the ASCII characters.
• Swirl Effect: Increase or decrease the swirl rotation speed.
• Bounce Effect: Control how symbols react when they move away from the cursor.
• Wave Effect: Add a wave-like oscillation to the movement.
