# Application Name
The purpose of String Art is to provide the developer with practice creating a
simple animated graphic, using geometry in the animation algorithm, and
creating something that's visually pleasant to watch.
String Art draws a single multicolored line which smoothly moves until one
end touches a side of the enclosing window. At the point it touches a "bounce"
effect is applied to change it's direction.
A ripple effect is created by only retaining 10-20 images of the line as it
moves. Older images are progressively faded until they disappear.
Animation libraries are not allowed. Use only Vanilla HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
## User Stories
- [ ] Start by drawing a multicolored line at a random position within the
boundary of it's enclosing window.
- [ ] Each 20ms draw a new copy of the line at a new position based on a
trajectory - the incremental distance from the previous line based on the
endpoints.
- [ ] When either endpoint of the line touches the boundary of the enclosing
window change it's direction and randomly alter its angle.
- [ ] Progressively fade the intensity of old lines so that only the most
recent 10-20 lines are visible to create the sense of movement or "ripple".
## Bonus features
- [ ] Allow the user to specify the length of the line and it's velocity
- [ ] Allow the user to specify the multiple lines within the window, all
moving along different trajectories and velocities

## Example projects
This project is very close, but has a small enclosing window and is monchromatic.

This project is similar, but contains multiple lines and is monochromatic
