I just found a mouse movement visualization application #17

IOGraph — is an application that turns mouse movements into a modern art. The idea is that you just run it and do your usual day stuff at the computer. Go back to IOGraph after a while and grab a nice picture of what you’ve done!

very interesting. definitely something to take a look at && draw some inspiration from, but i wouldn't necessarily use this code for the project. instead, ask urselves how is this similar to what u want to make? how is it different? what does it do well (so u can try to do the same)? && what does it do poorly (so u can try to improve on that).

in terms of technical execution, i suggest using the "mouse move" event (which is a native browser API) to get the mouse data && then either the Canvas API or p5.js (which is itself is built on the canvas api) to create images from the mouse data.
