A Klaus Schulze inspired, animated QGIS geometry generator doodle

Found this

Made that

With an empty inverted polygon layer, the canvas on 0 0,

with_variable(
  'line_star',
  collect_geometries(
    with_variable(
      'buffered_point_array',
      geometries_to_array(
        nodes_to_points(  
          buffer(make_point(0,0), distance:=100, segments:=42),
          ignore_closing_nodes:=True
        )
      ),
      array_foreach(
        @buffered_point_array,
        make_line(

and an arrow style with feature blending.
