Pseudo Black Hole Generator

From me to you, a semi-personal christmas and new years wishes card.

Want more? Take a look at the collection.

Give it a try and generate your personal (not so) black hole and much more at just the click of a button.
(Yes, I do know this is not how black holes work but it does looks somewhat cool to the extent that it has become this years EOYS.)


With every sketch you get:

  • Canvas and Stars (now with opacity and even harder to see)
    It's even darker than before.. and the same stars, litterally copy pasted those. This time it's a very random amount of 1 to 144 stars.
  • An enormous background pattern (it's weaving through time and space)
    Gets more attracted to the black hole the closer it gets. You can practically see the distortions!
    This one formed by accident, and is also the reason why this year is not the starscape originally planned but rather this pseudo black hole.
  • A black hole (not guaranteed to be neccessarily black)
    It's eating things, watch out!
  • Sad little accretion disk (you're watching it from the top on)
    To make it easy this one is looking the best it could, though I suspect real physics would still have you see behind that thing so it's not perfect. But eh..
  • Pseudo-Fractal Lightnings (..those don't really exist right?)
    But they certainly look cool. Or atleast I think so..
    And what a pain to get them to be that way.
  • Almost RGBA (the canvas supports it, my heart supports it..)
    But sadly it doesnt quite work out the way it was supposed to be. Maybe later that too will come, but not today.. not today.
  • Good Wishes and PRNG (just like the last years)
    Share it with a friend, the site upgrade also brings copy on click for that marvelous link.
  • True AntiAliasing (with dynamic scaling)
    Instead of the poor-mans GaussianBlur from the last years, this iteration now uses proper 2X-supersampling to calculate a true edge-smoothing anti-aliasing effect.
  • More Pixels! (better image quality)
    If you always wanted to use one of these as a wallpaper for your WQHD device you can now do so. This version comes in real 2560x1440px.
  • Site Wide Upgrade! (the elephant in the room)
    The site has gotten a massive overhaul and a temporary new location. Hail bootstrap.
    And would you look at that actually working loading indicator. Gorgeous
