Just Skedaddling is an experimental generative artwork built entirely in the browser. A field of particles drifts, gathers and scatters according to a small set of rules. The central idea is simple: the less you interact with it, the calmer it becomes.
On a desktop screen the artwork begins with 180 moving particles, together with a small star field and four softly changing nebulae. The particles can form temporary connections when they come close to one another. Pointer and touch movement disturb the local field; after interaction stops, the system gradually returns toward its quieter state.
There is nothing to win and nothing to complete. It is an intentionally slow piece of screen-based art: something that can be left open, watched for a while, or ignored entirely.
