Jolly JS Journeys
summary
Builds four demos (JavaScript canvas HTML5) to prove the DVD logo corner problem is math not magic: uses lowest common multiple (45 moves example), finds times from ~100s to ~3,500s, then implements an intelligent screensaver that tweaks angles via line‑intersection math, requestAnimationFrame and Bezier curves to force corner hits. Packages unrelated mini‑apps into a Zen Zone site (React + canvas), hosts on Amazon, writes a white paper “screen Savior” and pushes code to GitHub; everything runs and is open for reuse.
