Behavior

Auto Save

If active, Pens will autosave every 30 seconds after being saved once.

Auto-Updating Preview

If enabled, the preview panel updates automatically as you code. If disabled, use the "Run" button to update.

Format on Save

If enabled, your code will be formatted when you actively save your Pen. Note: your code becomes un-folded during formatting.

// ============================================================================
//  HOW IT WORKS
// ============================================================================
// Each blade of grass is made up of two Bezier curves that are offset at the
// base, and meet at the tip. On every frame, the update function rotates 
// the anchor point for the tip of each blade around, creating the sway.


// This will place the blades at the bottom of the svg
var svgHeight = 600;

// Changes the slope, creating the curvature of the blade
var curvature = 1.5;

var path1 = document.querySelector("#path-1");
var path2 = document.querySelector("#path-2");

var width1 = 6;
var width2 = 8;

var height1 = 400;
var height2 = 450;

// Convert angle to radians
var angle1 =  30 * Math.PI / 180;
var angle2 = -20 * Math.PI / 180;

// This will be converted to radians in the update
var maxAngle1 = 10;
var maxAngle2 = 15;

// First anchor point, start position of blade
var sx1 = 300;
var sy1 = svgHeight;

var sx2 = 600;
var sy2 = svgHeight;

// Control points, creates curvature
var cx1 = sx1 - curvature;
var cy1 = sy1 - height1;

var cx2 = sx2 - curvature;
var cy2 = sy2 - height2 / 2; // This creates a different looking blade

// Last anchor point, this will offset the Bezier curves at the base
var dx1 = sx1 + width1;
var dy1 = sy1;

var dx2 = sx2 + width2;
var dy2 = sy2;

// Coords use to construct the Bezier curves
var coords1 = [sx1, sy1, cx1, cy1, cx1, cy1, dx1, dy1];
var coords2 = [sx2, sy2, cx2, cy2, cx2, cy2, dx2, dy2];

// Create an object to hold all the blade's values
var blade1 = {
  path: path1,
  width: width1,
  height: height1,
  angle: angle1,
  maxAngle: maxAngle1,
  coords: coords1
};

var blade2 = {
  path: path2,
  width: width2,
  height: height2,
  angle: angle2,
  maxAngle: maxAngle2,
  coords: coords2
};

// Put the blades objects into an array so we can loop through them
var blades = [blade1, blade2];

// Now we can use the ticker to render the blades
TweenLite.ticker.addEventListener("tick", render)

function render() {

  var time = Date.now();

  for (var i = 0; i < blades.length; i++) {
    update(blades[i], time);

  // Changes the speed of the sway
  var wind = 0.0007;
  
  var coords = blade.coords;
  var tip = Math.sin(time * wind);

  // Rotates the anchor point for the tip of the blade
  var th = blade.angle + Math.PI / 2 + tip * Math.PI / 180 * (blade.maxAngle * Math.cos(time * 0.0002));
  var px = coords[0] + blade.width  + blade.height * Math.cos(th);
  var py = coords[1] - blade.height * Math.sin(th);
  
  // Position of the blade
  var d = "M" + [coords[0], coords[1]];
  
  // Bezier curves
  d += "C" + [coords[0], coords[1], coords[2], coords[3], px, py];  
  d += "C" + [px, py, coords[4], coords[5], coords[6], coords[7]];
