Seedhead Dispersal

150 dandelion seeds on a golden-angle spiral drift off one by one on a noise-field breeze; the receptacle slowly glows bare. Click triggers a gust.

When to use it

Nature or botanical hero backgrounds, ambient screensaver loops, organic brand aesthetics.

When not to

Content-heavy layouts where continuous drift competes with reading. Low-end devices sensitive to per-frame canvas redraws.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change seed count to 80 by setting N=80, shift pappus color to pale lavender (#d8d0e8), slow release interval from 26 to 40 frames. 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

  • seed count (N=150)
  • release interval (timer>26)
  • pappus filament color (#e8d9b0)
  • background color (#101622)
  • gust strength on click (gust=1.6)
  • breeze noise intensity (nz*0.10)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard with static fallback frame
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • golden angle seed placement (GA constant)
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • pointermove also sets gust=1 so hovering accelerates dispersal on desktop
  • Seeds that fly offscreen mark attached=2 but are not freed until full reset cycle
  • Stem position is hardcoded relative to cx/cy and not configurable

  • Growing VineA sinuous green vine grows upward sprouting 14 alternating leaves and a pale bud tip, then retracts in a seamless loop on a dark forest background.
  • Flickering FireAdditive-blended ember particles rise from a glowing orange base, flickering like a real flame; cursor pans left/right to fan the fire sideways.
  • Water RippleConcentric ripple rings expand across a deep teal water surface with shimmering caustic bands; tap anywhere to drop a new ripple. Auto-drops periodically.
  • Lightning BoltJagged lightning bolts with branching forks strike randomly down a dark storm-sky canvas; screen flashes rust-white on each strike. Tap to trigger instantly.
  • Falling SnowUp to 110 depth-layered snowflakes drift and sway down a dark blue gradient; pointer movement shifts a wind force that nudges the entire flurry sideways.
  • Drifting CloudsPuffy white clouds with radial-gradient puffs and soft blue undersides drift across a layered sky gradient; pointer nudges them forward.
