Memphis 80s

Squiggle Parade

When to use it

Memphis/80s-retro hero backgrounds, section dividers, or ambient loops needing bold geometric energy without user interaction.

When not to

Content-heavy layouts where high-contrast ribbons compete with text. Light backgrounds — BG is hardcoded deep indigo.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change SQ_N to 8, set the accent color PAL[0] to '#ff00cc', and increase sqAmp range to 0.08+r()*0.10 for taller squiggles. 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

  • squiggle count (SQ_N=6)
  • color palette (PAL array)
  • amplitude range (sqAmp: 0.05+r()*0.06)
  • confetti element count (CONF_N=104)
  • bead count per squiggle (beads=5)
  • background color (BG)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • mulberry PRNG seeding (consistent layout across reloads)
  • DPR-aware canvas sizing
  • visibilitychange pause/play
  • reduced-motion static frame fallback
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded in CSS and JS — must change both
  • Confetti layout is static per seed; resize does not re-randomize positions
  • 26-step polyline squiggle may look angular at very large viewport widths
