Rotating Star Effect

Solved Let's Build It
17 4 5.5k 1
  • Hello! I hope everything is going well. 😊 I’m interested in creating a page featuring a captivating rotating star effect similar to what’s showcased on the https://gatsbyconf.com/ website.

    Could you please guide me on how to achieve a similar WordPress page using the Gutenberg builder? Specifically, I’m aiming to incorporate the rotating effect, and I intend to overlay additional text elements on it. While attempting to save the page, I encountered difficulties in copying the required CSS or JS for the effect. I’m uncertain about where to commence. Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    @Hari What do you have so far in terms of the page? Can you share any links, code, or CSS?

    @Hari that’s not as simple as it looks. Do you have a mock-up of how you’d like it to look?

    just the rotating background without text would just work fine. i want to save this effect on page for now so i can refer to it later.

    can we find something on their github?

    @Hari it looks very cool, I hope there is an easy way to achieve this background.

    Im on mobile, is there anyone who can paste this into one of those jsfiddle / codepen sites, to make a clickable demo from this very basic version1
    I will add some matrix sin/cos to make it rotate round rather than flat in v2

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>  
      <body>
        <canvas id="canvas" width="600" height="400"></canvas>
    
        <script>
      var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
      var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
      var s=[],i
     for(i=0;i<200;i++){
            s[i]={x: Math.random()*600,
                  y: Math.random()*400,
                  r: Math.random()*3}
     }
          
    setInterval(draw,30)
    
     function draw() {
              for(i=0;i<200;i++){
                ctx.beginPath()
                ctx.fillStyle='white'
                ctx.arc(s[i].x, s[i].y, 5, 0, 6.3)
                ctx.fill()
                ctx.beginPath()
                ctx.fillStyle='black'
    
                s[i].x+=1
                if(s[i].x>610){s[i].x=-5}
                ctx.arc(s[i].x, s[i].y, s[i].r, 0, 6.3)
                ctx.fill()
            }
        }
            
        </script>
      </body>
    </html>

    @Panda That also looks good. Just short of the 3D rendering part ! 🙂
