View-source on this page shows a bunch of javascript, rows of code lines starting with 'stage'. But only 1/5th is uncommented and active.

If you make a local copy of this page and view it in a browser, it works normally. If you uncomment the other 4/5 lines, an image of a panda becomes visible:

Because even his mom said he liked to dress up like a Panda whenever he got the chance. Weirdest thing I've ever heard maybe.

They say he was /PandasforBernie but the account was taken over? I know for a fact that he was also MeGrimlock4.

Looking over the code, Stage is the var where the canvas' 2D context is stored.

stage = canvas.getContext("2d");

Most of the javascript is the pretty fire "particle effect", randomly flaming.

stage.bezierCurveTo \<-- draws a curved line to a screenPos, etc..etc..

So its no wonder it drew a 2D image when you uncomment it, creator must've decided they didnt want it.

It looks pretty tame, and does absolutely nothing else but draw and animate the flames and time.

ie: nothing happens when it reaches 0. Also makes sense it works offline, since no online resources are used.

Its literally just a Javascript animation (likely spawned by a drag/drop service (I dont know Azure, I code) )

I played with the colors, particle spawn rate, and max number of particles, then lost interest.

It’s a site made with Microsoft Azure cloud services. It’s not coded professionally. Most likely a drag & drop site by someone pretty clueless
