Getting Started

This project plays with the CSS Houdini Paint API you can read more about it here.

The CSS Houdini specifications are only beginning to be adopted by web browsers. I tested my work with the latest versions of Chrome ( version 77 as I write this ).

This project uses Node JS as a run time environment.

Installing

  1. Assuming you have Node JS installed. Clone this repo, and cd into the folder you've cloned. You should see a file there called app.js. Type the following to install the Node dependencies:

When the node dependencies have been installed, type the following to run the Node app:
