Rolling Shutter Simulation

In 2017 there was some interst in explaining the Rolling Shutter Effect in cameras including videos by Destin's Smarter Everyday Channel and Matt Parker's Stand-up Maths.

I wanted to explore if I can simulate the effect using D3.js and found a neat way to do it using Canvas clip(). function.

Use the sliders to change the simulation parameters.
