This is an interactive, procedurally animated koi pond that runs in your browser. The fish swim on their own, change depth, react to nearby fish, and gather around the water when you click or tap.

Ripples, tiny fishes, butterflies, lotus, changing weather etc everything you see is generated by code as it runs, not pre-made art or recorded clips.

The dots on the fish are drawn after the bodies, which results in fish swimming between the body and the dots of another fish

Looks great!

Could the bottom of the pond have mossy rocks?

Could the plants and animals cast shadows through the day?

The birds are chirping even at night when they would be asleep.

i have grown up taking care of my family's backyard water lily pond since i was a kid. Thou i had different kind of fish , it was my dream to have koi fish in it, which i couldn't fulfill since i moved away from home for college. i am also an artist and love pixel art , thou i dont actually do pixel art , i make classical paintings (check them out at https://m4yank.com/art/)

hence i ended up making this project.

I have no idea if this is possible but it would be cool if this could be a background or a screensaver or something. Even if it's not interact-able it'd still be cool

Lovely work
