Infinitude
Cadmium Gourd Stripes
Wavy cadmium-yellow and black bands undulate horizontally while 70 white and red dots drift upward through the field in a looping scroll.

When to use it
Dark ambient backgrounds, music/art visuals, retro-style hero sections needing high-contrast motion.
When not to
Light-background layouts (background hardcoded dark near-black). Content requiring text legibility over the canvas.
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Change bandH from 26 to 40 for wider stripes, swap the yellow (#ffd400) to orange (#ff6600), and increase dot drift speed by changing time*22 to time*40. 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
- band height (bandH=26)
- band colors (#ffd400 / #0a0608)
- sine wave amplitude (*7) and frequency (0.025)
- dot count (n=70)
- dot drift speed (time*22)
- dot accent color (#e8112d)
- theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)
Keep intact
- IIFE wrapper
- prefers-reduced-motion guard (REDUCED)
- visibilitychange pause/resume
- DPR-aware fitCanvas()
- theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
Known limitations
- Background color hardcoded in CSS (#0a0608) — must edit both CSS and canvas fill to change it
- Dot positions are deterministic pseudo-random seeds, not truly random — pattern repeats identically each load

- Pulsing Dot FieldA lattice of red dots pulses in radius and alpha via staggered sine waves; bright dots flash yellow at peak. No user input required.
- Mirror Tunnel26 rings of colored dots recede toward a vanishing point, growing in size and radius as they rush toward the viewer — a looping mirrored tunnel illusion.
- The Dotted GourdAn orange ribbed gourd rendered on canvas with 110 dark dots scaled by curvature and depth; the whole form sways gently as if in a breeze.
- The Endless NetA grid of scalloped double-arc loops drawn on deep red canvas, each cell pulsing in brightness on its own sine-wave phase, evoking woven netting.
- Dissolve115 colored dots orbit an empty center in a slow ellipse, periodically dissolving outward in a breathing scatter pattern with depth-based opacity.
- Mirrored Light Box12 nested glowing squares dive inward in a perpetual zoom loop while rotating; colored corner dots hue-rotate continuously over a deep dark stage.
