Generative Geometry

Auto-Maze

Depth-first maze carves itself wall by wall on a dark grid with shifting hue; a bright dot marks the active cell. Resets with a new color on completion.

When to use it

Generative art backgrounds, loading screens, or algorithm visualization demos that benefit from a hypnotic self-drawing pattern.

When not to

Contexts requiring legible text overlays or low-end mobile — continuous rAF loop with full redraw each frame consumes moderate CPU.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change cell size by setting the divisor from 16 to 12 in `cell=Math.max(10,Math.round(s/16))`, and shift starting hue to purple via `hue=270`. 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 divisor (s/16)
  • starting hue (hue=150)
  • hue rotation on reset (hue+47)
  • carve step interval (stepT=28)
  • pause after completion (doneT>1400)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • IIFE wrapper
  • prefers-reduced-motion guard (static full-maze fallback)
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • DPR-aware canvas sizing
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Grid is always square — non-square viewports leave margins on the longer axis
  • Reduced-motion shows only a static fully-carved maze, no animated fallback

More Generative Geometry components

  • Voronoi Shatter14 drifting sites partition the canvas into cool-blue Voronoi mosaic cells; moving the pointer nudges the nearest site toward the cursor.
  • Truchet Tiles8x8 grid of rainbow quarter-arc Truchet tiles that flip orientation in slow sine waves, weaving shifting interlocked curves across a dark background.
  • SpirographA hypotrochoid spirograph traced progressively on canvas with a shifting hue; each cycle completes then resets with new random radii and color.
  • L-System PlantAn L-system fractal plant grows branch by branch from the canvas bottom, swaying gently; clicking triggers a wobble and regrows a randomized plant.
  • Rotating Mandala12-fold mandala of 5 nested polygon rings that counter-spin, breathe in scale, and cycle through lilac-gold hues. Tap adds a spin impulse.
  • Moiré InterferenceThree drifting concentric ring sets in cyan, pink, and green blend additively to create shifting moiré patterns. Pointer steers one ring center.
