What this generates
This page generates a trail of dots that follows the mouse cursor, plus the JS that drives it. The JS records recent mouse positions and moves a chain of fixed-position dots to those positions each frame, shrinking each dot further back in the trail.
Change the fields above and the output updates live -- copy it once you're happy with the result.
