When to use it
Memphis or retro 80s hero backgrounds, screensavers, or decorative section breaks where looping ambient motion fits the brand.
When not to
Light-background layouts (background hardcoded dark violet). Content-heavy contexts where thick animated strokes compete with readable text.
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Change the teal noodle to hot orange (#ff6b00) by updating --mp07-teal, and slow its travel by setting --mp07-dur to 10s on the fourth path element. 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
- noodle colors (CSS vars --mp07-teal, --mp07-pink, --mp07-yellow, --mp07-violet, --mp07-coral)
- travel speed per noodle (--mp07-dur on each path)
- stroke width (stroke-width 13 on the noodle group)
- dot pulse scale (1.35 in mp07-pulse keyframe)
- confetti spin duration (--mp07-sd per element)
- theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)
Keep intact
- IIFE wrapper with setMotion() reduced-motion guard
- visibilitychange pause handler
- coral noodle stroke-width:0 markup guard (promoted in JS only when motion allowed)
- theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
Known limitations
- stroke-dashoffset is paint-layer — may stutter on low-end devices with all 5 noodles active
- Light re-theme via the [data-theme=light] token block; catalog bg/accent describe the dark default
- Coral noodle invisible if JS disabled (stroke-width promoted from 0 only in JS)
