How to fill text with particles using p5js
I want to fill the text with particles like this
I tried to do this using p5.js, but I got stuck where particles only appear at the edges. Any idea to do this rather than have it around the edges?
Here is my attempt. Thanks for a ton in advance :)
SteeringDemo.html
<body>
<script>
var font;
var vehicles=[];
var x=1360;
var y=400;
function preload() {
font=loadFont('Poppins-Medium.ttf')
}
function setup() {
var canvasDiv = document.getElementById('canvas');
var width = canvasDiv.offsetWidth;
var sketchCanvas = createCanvas(width,450);
console.log(sketchCanvas);
sketchCanvas.parent("canvas");
background('#fff');
var points=font.textToPoints('B',x/3,y/2,240);
console.log(points);
for(i=0;i<points.length;i++){
var pt=points[i];
var vehicle = new Vehicle(pt.x, pt.y);
vehicles.push(vehicle);
}
}
function draw() {
background('#fff');
for(var i=0; i< vehicles.length;i++){
var v=vehicles[i];
v.behaviors();
v.update();
v.show();
}
}
</script>

Vehicle.js
function Vehicle(x,y) {
this.pos= createVector(random(width),random(height));
this.target=createVector(x,y);
this.vel= p5.Vector.random2D();
this.acc= createVector();
this.radius=8;
this.maxspeed=10;
this.maxForce=1;
}
Vehicle.prototype.behaviors=function () {
var arrive=this.arrive(this.target);
var mouse= createVector(mouseX,mouseY);
var flee=this.flee(mouse);
arrive.mult(1);
flee.mult(5);
this.applyForce(arrive);
this.applyForce(flee);
}
Vehicle.prototype.applyForce =function (f) {
this.acc.add(f);
}
Vehicle.prototype.update=function () {
this.pos.add(this.vel);
this.vel.add(this.acc);
this.acc.mult(0);
}
Vehicle.prototype.show=function () {
stroke('#0097a7');
strokeWeight(4);
point(this.pos.x,this.pos.y);
}
Vehicle.prototype.arrive= function (target) {
var desired=p5.Vector.sub(target,this.pos);
var d=desired.mag();
var speed=this.maxspeed;
if(d < 100) {
speed=map(d,0,100,0,this.maxspeed)
}
desired.setMag(speed);
var steer=p5.Vector.sub(desired,this.vel);
steer.limit(this.maxForce);
return steer;
}
Vehicle.prototype.flee= function (target) {
var desired=p5.Vector.sub(target,this.pos);
var d= desired.mag();
if(d <50) {
desired.setMag(this.maxspeed);
desired.mult(-1);
var steer=p5.Vector.sub(desired,this.vel);
steer.limit(this.maxForce);
return steer;
} else {
return createVector(0,0);
}
}

Although you could, but you don't need to use p5 *js to achieve this animation. Luckily I came across a javascript library called Particle Slider and as it turns out yalantis also uses the same library for its animations.
This is how you could accomplish this kind of animation using this library.
let init = () => {
PS.renderText({
text: 'B',
fontFamily: 'Arial',
fontSize: 200,
fontColor: '#00E2FA',
fontWeight: 'bold'
});
var myPS = new ParticleSlider({
ptlGap: 3,
ptlSize: 1,
mouseForce: 70
});
window.onresize = () => {
myPS.width = window.innerWidth;
myPS.height = window.innerHeight;
}
}
window.onload = init;
html, body {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: black;
}
<script src="https://istack.000webhostapp.com/PS.js"></script>
<!-- DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING AFTER THIS LINE -->
<div class="slides">
<div class="slide"> </div>
</div>
<canvas class="draw"></canvas>

Yes! It's really that simple:)
also, checkout a demo on jsFiddle
for future reference always refer to the official documentation
