| Fun! I enjoyed experimenting with different kinds of squiggles.

| I wish there was a reset button, then again page refresh works

| Brilliant. I love that the cycle tracks time between pixel draws
| too, so you can add in different delayed effects.

| You paint a figure from point A to point B. Then It just starts

|
| If you manage to paint a figure that starts and ends at the
| same point, then it stays in place and seems to be a static
| draw.
|
| If you just draw a straight line, it just starts "to move"
| forward.

| I love this a lot.

| couple of zigzag lightning bolts : )

| It has been fun drawing shapes that connect end to end and

| It would be fun to have other brush types that have their own
| unique timing properties as well. Really fun project!

| This whole tool was directly inspired by "grubs" here

| This immediately reminded me of the Processing sketch called

| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjIYJnc3vLQ
|
| Processing: https://processing.org/
|
| This was a popular built-in example in the Processing development
| environment. I used to put it up on a smartboard during parent-
| teacher conferences to entertain the younger siblings of my
| students while I met with their parents. Code is available on
| Github and also withing Processing, of course.
|
| EDIT: I see Yellowtail was the inspiration for Grubs, which
| inspired this!
