Memphis 80s

Shape Stack

8 clashing Memphis shapes stack into a gently wobbling totem over a terrazzo background, crowned by a yellow squiggle. Glow baked into offscreen sprites.

When to use it

Memphis/retro-themed hero sections, loading screens, or decorative panels needing bold ambient motion without user interaction.

When not to

Contexts requiring text legibility over the canvas or low-end devices where glow sprites may stress GPU compositing.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the totem's wobble speed by setting the frequency multiplier from 1.15 to 0.7 in drawFrame, and swap COL.orange to '#00eaff' for a cooler palette. 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

  • color palette (COL object)
  • wobble frequency (1.15 multiplier)
  • layer definitions (L array — shape types, sizes, phases)
  • glow intensity (GLOW=14)
  • gap between layers (gap=0.08)
  • squiggle color and size (COL.yellow, sw=unit*0.85)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • offscreen sprite baking pattern (buildSprites — critical for perf)
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • prefers-reduced-motion single-frame fallback
  • IIFE wrapper
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Glow is baked into offscreen sprites at resize — changing GLOW at runtime requires a resize trigger to rebuild
  • Terrazzo speckle is 6 hardcoded dots via CSS radial-gradient, not truly random
