Memphis 80s

Terrazzo Scatter

96 colored terrazzo chips breathe apart from a tilted slab card and resettle in a 5.2s looping cycle, using a Memphis 80s palette on dark umber.

When to use it

Memphis/retro-themed hero backgrounds, dark-mode landing pages, generative art canvases needing ambient motion without user interaction.

When not to

Light backgrounds (BG hardcoded dark umber). Contexts requiring legible text overlaid on the chips — chips cover the slab fully when settled.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the chip count to 64 by setting N=64, swap the palette accent to hot orange by replacing '#B29234' with '#ff6a00', and slow the cycle to 8000ms by changing CYCLE=8000. 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

  • chip count (N=96)
  • color palette (PAL array)
  • cycle duration (CYCLE=5200)
  • scatter radius multiplier (S*0.55)
  • base chip size (S*0.022)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

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

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded in CSS and JS — must change both BG variable and #141019 CSS to retheme
  • Chip positions seeded deterministically — same layout every load (no randomness per session)
