I have been trying to implement infinite scroll with my particle system, but have not been successful. Basically on my site the particle system is the background, and I have fixed content on top. But I would like to infinitely scroll through the background, generate new particles as I go, and then seamlessly transition when I am at the top again. I am utilizing webflow, so that is where I manage the CSS.

I am quite new to this, so I apologize if my query seems a bit naive.

Does anyone know how to best approach this?

Thank you,

Sina

Here is the particles.js code I am using (used this resource):

<style>
.particles-js-canvas-el {
position: absolute;
max-width: 100%;
max-height:100%;
left: 0%;
top: 0%;
right: 0%;
bottom: 0%;
z-index: 0;
}</style>

For the infinite scroll, I have tried adding variations of this:

    const particlesCanvas = document.getElementById('particles-js');
    let scrollTop = 0;

    function infiniteScroll() {
      const scrollPosition = window.scrollY;
      const windowHeight = window.innerHeight;

      particlesCanvas.style.transform = `translateY(${-scrollPosition}px)`;

      if (scrollPosition >= windowHeight) {
        window.scrollTo(0, 1);
      }

      requestAnimationFrame(infiniteScroll);
    }

    window.addEventListener('scroll', infiniteScroll);
    requestAnimationFrame(infiniteScroll);
  });

The best I can manage is infinite scroll (200% canvas height), but then it being jumpy and the background being completely generated anew.
