This CodePen's JS file has been "hijacked" to serve as the paint worklet file. The if check below ensures the code only runs when referenced as such. JavaScript for the page is at the top of the HTML. I'm only doing this to squeeze everything into one CodePen.
IMPORTANT: If you fork, update the CodePen JS file path in the HTML.
ALSO IMPORTANT: If you edit code here, disable cache and reload. Live preview won't pick up changes in the paint worklet.
