When to use it
Retro/Memphis-themed hero backgrounds, 80s design showcases, ambient looping tile backdrops.
When not to
Light backgrounds (hardcoded dark plum). Contexts needing legible text overlays — constant motion competes with reading.
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Change triangle count to 60 by setting N=60, swap palette to pastels (edit COL array), and slow fall speed by changing the vy base from 0.55 to 0.25. 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
- triangle count (N=90)
- color palette (COL array)
- fall speed (vy base 0.55 + rnd*1.5)
- solid vs outline ratio (rnd()<0.62)
- sway amplitude (Math.sin(sway[i])*7)
- theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)
Keep intact
- IIFE wrapper
- visibilitychange pause/resume
- prefers-reduced-motion static frame
- DPR-aware canvas sizing + setTransform reset
- theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
Known limitations
- Background color hardcoded in both CSS and canvas backdrop() — must change both to retheme
- No interactivity; pointer attraction would require significant refactor
