Stamp pad
A rubber stamp with real ink trouble: uneven pressure, dry patches, and a pad that runs out.
Click or tap the sheet to stamp it. Each impression uses some ink: keep going and watch the pad run dry.
How it works
Each impression is drawn solid and then has three things taken away: pressure, falling off across a random direction; dry patches, where a noise field crosses a line that drops as the ink runs out; and speckle, where the paper’s tooth missed.
It falls for 180 ms, the sheet gives one pixel, and it has settled by 260. The newest stamp is in the second pen until the next one lands, when it turns to ink.
