Stripeout

Al Sweigart, 2024. Vertical stripe wipes.

Stripeout is one of the simplest animations Al Sweigart has created, but also one of the most impactful. The cycling between individual columns and broad sweeps is a nice effect. Originally the sweep selection was completely random, but this had the negative side effect of hitting only a handful of columns at a time as the screen filled, slowing down the complete wipe. Sweigart added code to ensure that the sweeps always cover as many columns as possible, keeping the animation from dragging out.
