CyberSkeletonCat

Abstract

CyberSkeletonCat is a browser-based animated visual prototype built with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. The project uses the Canvas API as the primary rendering surface to draw and animate a cyber-inspired skeleton cat composition with neon styling, motion effects and a single-page execution model.

The implementation focuses on lightweight client-side rendering, frame-based animation control and visual experimentation without external libraries.

Design Notes

Decision	Reason
Canvas API rendering	Allows dynamic visual drawing and frame updates
No external framework	Keeps the prototype lightweight and portable
Single HTML entry point	Makes local execution simple
Neon/cyber styling	Supports the visual identity of the project
Demo video	Provides evidence of animation behaviour
