When to use it

Ambient background for Japanese-themed UIs, nature or wellness apps, or any dark-mode hero section needing calm organic motion.

When not to

Light-background pages (sky is hardcoded cream over dark body). Contexts requiring text legibility over the canvas.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change bamboo stalk color from indigo to deep forest green by setting FAR="#1f5c2e", MID="#174a25", NEAR="#0f3519", and increase sway amplitude by changing samp[i] base from 0.018 to 0.030. 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

  • stalk depth colors (FAR, MID, NEAR)
  • sway amplitude base (0.018 + sdepth offset)
  • moon color and position (MOON, mx, my)
  • leaf color (LEAF, LEAFD)
  • stalk count (N=9)
  • sky gradient stops (SKY_T, SKY_B, MIST)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • preallocated Float32Array scratch buffers (no per-frame allocation)
  • ORDER array for depth-sorted draw order
  • visibilitychange stop/start guard
  • reduced-motion static fallback (render once at t=0.6)
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Moon position is hardcoded at 74% width, 30% height — must edit mx/my to reposition
  • Leaf depth sorting is implicit via parent culm order, not independent z-depth
