When to use it
Decorative hero backgrounds, arts-and-crafts themed UIs, ambient wallpaper sections with a historic or botanical mood.
When not to
Light or bright-color UIs (ground color is hardcoded warm parchment). Contexts needing legible text overlays — pattern density competes with copy.
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Change the colourway cycle to hold on indigo only by setting ways to a single entry, and increase cell size from 92 to 120 for larger motifs. 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
- cell size (cell=92)
- colourway palette (ways array)
- colour-cycle speed (dt multiplier)
- bird scale (0.9)
- sprig scale (0.8)
- theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)
Keep intact
- DPR-aware fitCanvas()
- visibilitychange pause/resume
- prefers-reduced-motion guard
- IIFE wrapper
- theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
Known limitations
- Background parchment colour hardcoded in CSS and in ways[].ground — must update both to change it
- No pointer interactivity — purely ambient
