A pooled particle tail following the pointer, drawn on a single 2D canvas.

sketchCanvas 2D

A fixed-size particle pool (object recycling, no allocation per frame) updated in a rAF loop with delta time.

Canvas is DPR-capped by the device tier; the loop pauses offscreen and when the tab is hidden.

Decorative. In reduced-motion mode only a static cursor dot is drawn.
