Bauhaus Geometric
Wire Scaffold
Faux-3D wire lattice of stacked square rings rotates slowly, carrying Bauhaus red, yellow, and blue flat solids (circle, square, triangle) at its vertices.

When to use it
Bauhaus or geometric-themed hero sections, design-tool splash screens, architectural concept displays.
When not to
Contexts requiring legible text overlays or low-end mobile — the continuous canvas redraw may compete with foreground content.
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Slow the rotation by changing `t += 0.0045` to `t += 0.002`, swap the red circle for white by changing `RED` to `'#ffffff'` in the SH array entry at index 1. 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
- rotation speed (t += 0.0045)
- palette constants (RED, BLUE, YEL)
- pitch oscillation amplitude (Math.sin(t*0.6)*0.16)
- solid shapes array (SH — kind, color, size, vertex)
- lattice scale (r=0.78)
- perspective field of view (fov=3.0)
- theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)
Keep intact
- Float32Array projection scratch buffers (no per-frame alloc)
- IIFE wrapper with 'use strict'
- visibilitychange pause/resume
- prefers-reduced-motion static fallback
- theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
Known limitations
- Solids drawn after edges in a flat pass — no true depth sorting, so solids can appear in front of nearer edges
- Background color hardcoded in both CSS and fillRect — must change in two places to retheme

- 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.
- Dot Rhythm8x8 grid of red, blue, yellow, and white dots pulsing in diagonal travelling waves; two interfering sines modulate scale and opacity for a rhythmic beat.
- 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…
