Mr Doob — Google Gravity Lava

Modern browsers are significantly faster than the machines of 2009. You could theoretically run this with thousands of particles, whereas the original Gravity only handled about 50 elements.

If you’ve ever wanted to see Google’s homepage melt, bounce, and burn in a lava-like flow, then Google Gravity Lava by Mr. Doob is the perfect interactive toy. This creative web experiment takes the classic Google Gravity concept and adds a fiery, viscous twist — turning search results and page elements into a dripping, reactive lava simulation.

: Originally, the search bar remained functional, pulling in search results that would also tumble into the pile. While the original Mr.doob Google Gravity is still available, mirrors like elgooG have updated the code to keep the search functionality active today.

: Mr.doob utilized JavaScript engines to handle real-time collision detection and Newtonian physics without the need for external plugins like Flash, which was revolutionary for its time. Creative Coding & UX Doob is the perfect interactive toy
