Constelations_pygame

Pygame game packaged for the web with Pygbag.

Description

Constelations is a small Pygame demo that draws moving dots and connects those within a certain distance, with an interactive control panel to adjust speed, number of points, and connection distance. With Pygbag, it can run in modern browsers as a WebAssembly application.

Important Note
The original idea for this animation is not mine. I do not claim it as my own nor am I the rightful owner of its intellectual property. It is an attempt to replicate an animation I saw while browsing the internet. I have been unable to locate the original animation again and therefore cannot credit the creator.
