Drifting across the cosmic expanse, the Nebula Knight leaves behind ethereal echoes of its journey—circles of fading light, orbiting in silence. Each step is a ripple in the void, a celestial pulse that vanishes as quickly as it appears. The path is uncertain, yet beautiful, drawn by unseen forces, weaving a delicate dance between order and chaos. Colors shift like the glow of distant stars, dissolving into the unknown, as the knight moves eternally through this boundless, digital cosmos.

Nebula Knight is a generative artwork created in p5.js, utilizing an algorithm based on the knight's move in chess. The movement follows randomized L-shaped jumps, constrained within a dynamic grid of randomly sized cells. Each step of the knight is marked by an empty circle, its radius varying between a minimum bound and 1/10th of the canvas size, introducing organic randomness.

A color gradient, selected from five different palettes, blends smoothly across the steps, generating a soft, evolving spectrum. The circles are drawn with only a stroke, no fill, reinforcing the ethereal and weightless quality of the composition. The knight’s journey, while unpredictable, adheres to the constraints of the grid, balancing structure and fluidity.

By blending algorithmic precision with artistic randomness, Nebula Knight transforms a simple set of mathematical rules into a mesmerizing, ever-changing celestial map. Each execution renders a unique variation—an infinite number of knights, forever wandering their own digital nebulae.
