# ab-particles: vanilla javascript particle animation
-Very simple, lightweight animated particles display that **does not** require any external files whatsoever. No libraries, configuration JSON or anything. This is a stripped-down version of the famous ['js-particles' by Vincent Garreau](https://vincentgarreau.com/particles.js) and the code was inspired by an amazing tutorial by [Franks Laboratory](https://youtu.be/d620nV6bp0A).

### my usual settings (nice background effect)
-I use this for screens where I can't figure out a meaningful background, so why not generate something nice to look at? Toning down the opacity a little to not distract from the text. [Sample](https://asifbacchus.app/public/samples/ab-particles/index.html)
