Creative Coding

I find gradients beautiful, but I wanted some sort of interactive element that could be calming or at least occupy the player’s mind for a little. I decided to make a pseudo-game, where the goal would be to position the mouse closer and closer to a randomly selected point so that the gradient lightens into pure white. While I was playing with the idea of having the actual colors of the gradient change based on the mouse position, I ended up deciding to only change the opacity of the gradient, since this gave hints as to whether the mouse was getting closer or farther away from the point.
