When to use it

Dark-mode hero backgrounds, Japanese-aesthetic themes, ambient looping screensavers, or gallery sections showcasing generative art.

When not to

Light-background layouts (sky hardcoded dark/indigo). Contexts where constant sky shifts compete with legible text overlays.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the day cycle from 24s to 60s: replace both `time/24` occurrences in `phase()` and `draw()` with `time/60`. 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

  • cycle duration (24s in phase() and draw())
  • KEYS color arrays for each time of day
  • crane count (NB=7)
  • snow cap color (SNOW / SNOWSHADE constants)
  • mountain peak height (horizon - Math.min(W,H)*0.46)
  • cloud drift speed (0.012 multiplier)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • DPR-aware canvas sizing and setTransform
  • visibilitychange pause/resume guards
  • reduced-motion static frame fallback (draw(13))
  • IIFE wrapper
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Background color hardcoded in CSS (#0f1822) — must edit to change from dark navy
  • No pointer interactivity — purely passive
  • Crane positions randomized at load; layout differs each session
