Prompt for this run
Build a full-screen flow-field particle animation using the provided p5.js library in global or instance mode. Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as needed. Write it to `index.html` in the current working directory using your file tools. Inline your own CSS and JavaScript. Do not use external assets, CDNs, or network requests. Use the provided `p5.min.js` (global `p5`) through a plain local script tag; the runner will inline it into the final artifact. Required behavior: - Animate at least 2,000 particles, with motion guided by a smoothly varying Perlin-noise vector field. Nearby particles should follow locally coherent directions. - Leave fading trails and vary particle colors over time. Evolve the field gradually so the pattern changes instead of repeating a short recorded sequence. - Recycle particles at the canvas boundaries and keep the population bounded. Avoid allocating an ever-growing trail history. - Provide Pause/Resume and Restart. Restart clears trails and initializes a new particle arrangement. - Fit the viewport and keep controls responsive at 1200 by 800. Choose the palette, field scale, and particle speed freely. Verify: Sample the animation at several moments to inspect coherent nearby particle motion, fading trails, and changing colors. Pause and resume, then use Restart and check that the trails clear and a new arrangement appears.

The page loads cleanly with no console errors, but this model can't view screenshots. I'll add a temporary debug readout to verify behavior numerically (fps, particle count, brightness/trail state, color hue, and field coherence), check it across moments, then remove it.

The final `index.html` is in place (5.0 KB, single self-contained file). Here's what I built and verified: **Implementation** - p5 global mode, `createCanvas(windowWidth, windowHeight)` for full-viewport, HSB color mode. - 3,000 particles; velocity from a shared Perlin-noise vector field (`noise(x*scale, y*scale, t)`), so nearby particles follow locally coherent directions. `noiseDetail(3, 0.5)` smooths the field. - Field evolves via a manual time accumulator `t` (incremented per frame), so the pattern continuously morphs rather than looping a short sequence. - Fading trails via a translucent background rect each frame (`fill(2,2,8,16)`); per-particle hue is offset by a slow global `huePhase` plus a spatial noise term, so colors shift over time. - Boundary recycling wraps particles to the opposite edge; population is a fixed array (no growing history). - Controls: Pause/Resume + Restart buttons (top-right), plus Space for pause and R for restart. Restart re-randomizes positions/colors, clears trails with an opaque redraw, and resets the field time. **What I checked (browser tool)** - **Load/console**: clean console, no errors; no network requests. - **Population**: stayed constant at 3,000 particles. - **Coherent motion**: sampled field angles at points 24px apart — divergence was 4–9° (after wrap correction), i.e. locally coherent direction. - **Trails + bounded brightness**: sampled 64×64 canvas thumbnails over several moments; mean brightness fluctuated (~55–110) without monotonically growing toward white — trails fade to a steady state rather than accumulating unboundedly. - **Changing colors**: mean canvas hue drifted across samples (162→170→179→152→146→72…), confirming color evolution. - **Pause/Resume**: toggling froze the scene (lit-pixel count identical across polls, frame counter stopped advancing) and button label flipped Pause↔Resume; resuming resumed changes. - **Restart**: immediately after restart, measured mean brightness dropped to the pure-background level (20.0 vs ~59+ animated) — trails cleared — then rebuilt over the next seconds with a different color arrangement. **Unverified / limitations** - Pixel-level visual appearance (the browser tool's image attachment isn't supported by this model, so I verified via quantitative pixel sampling instead). - Window-resize behavior (`windowResized` is implemented but not exercised in the fixed 1200×800 viewport). - Long-run behavior beyond ~40 seconds of runtime; exact steady-state aesthetics.
