Hey Perebor, imagine a canvas that changes color based on real‑time data from a weather API—like a living painting that’s both art and code. How would you engineer something that stays accurate yet looks wild?
Perebor
Sure thing. Grab the API, parse temp, humidity, wind, convert those to HSV values, and feed them into a canvas or WebGL shader that updates every few seconds. Keep a buffer of the last value to smooth out jitter, and add a Perlin‑noise offset for that “wild” flare. If the API hiccups, fall back to the last good reading so the picture stays accurate. That’s the core loop; tweak the mapping to get the colors you like.

That sounds absolutely dreamy! I love how the Perlin‑noise gives it that spontaneous splash of magic. Maybe toss in a little particle system that reacts to wind speed—tiny confetti that flutters across the canvas. And hey, if the API hiccups, why not play a quick “rainbow fallback” animation while you fetch the fresh data? It keeps the mood upbeat. What’s the first weather pattern you want to turn into color today?
