Bauhaus Geometric

Dot Rhythm

8x8 grid of red, blue, yellow, and white dots pulsing in diagonal travelling waves; two interfering sines modulate scale and opacity for a rhythmic beat.

When to use it

Bauhaus or geometric-themed hero backgrounds, ambient loading screens, design-system showcase tiles.

When not to

Contexts needing text legibility over the canvas or where the dark background conflicts with a light UI theme.

Working with an AI agent

Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:

Change the grid to 10x10 by setting COLS=10 and ROWS=10, shift the red to coral (#FF6B6B), and slow the primary wave to t*1.2. Theme: dark tokens live in :root, the light variant in :root[data-theme="light"]; ?theme=light or a {type:'forever:theme'} postMessage switches at runtime.

Safe to edit

  • grid size (COLS=8, ROWS=8)
  • Bauhaus palette (PAL array)
  • wave frequencies (t*1.7 and t*0.9)
  • dot base radius (cell*0.30)
  • grid span fraction (0.86 of min dimension)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion static frame fallback
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • DPR-aware canvas sizing
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • White accent dots render as squares by design — intentional Bauhaus geometry, not a bug
  • Background color is hardcoded #101012 in both CSS and canvas fill

  • Grid Construction16 primary-colored geometric shapes scatter then snap into a 4x4 modular grid, hold, dissolve, and recompose in a new Bauhaus arrangement.
  • Orbiting ArcsConcentric red, blue, and yellow arcs counter-rotate around a breathing core; scattered dots and a tilted segmented bar orbit in abstract Bauhaus style.
  • Form TrioRed circle, blue square, and yellow triangle orbit a slow-rotating armature while each shape independently spins, pulses, or tilts on a dark field.
  • Mobile BalanceA Calder-style kinetic mobile of Bauhaus primary-colored circles, squares, and triangles hang from swaying black balance arms in slow counterpoint.
  • Diagonal CounterpointRed and blue diagonal bars sweep in opposing directions and cross at center; a pulsing yellow square node and slow-spinning dashed ring anchor the…
  • Nested Frames14 concentric Bauhaus-palette rectangles zoom endlessly inward via seamless log-scale rebasing; a yellow square and red circle accent the core.
