Metaball Fluid

7 hot-pink blobs drift and merge via a high-contrast canvas threshold; cursor adds an attracting blob that pulls them toward the pointer.

When to use it

Ambient backgrounds, loading screens, creative portfolio hero sections.

When not to

Low-end mobile (CPU-bound pixel loop). Contexts requiring legible text overlays.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change color from pink to electric blue (#00eaff), reduce blob count to 5, increase off-screen resolution for sharper edges (divide by 2 instead of 4). 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

  • blob count (n=7)
  • blob color (hue base 300)
  • off-screen resolution divisor (/4)
  • pointer attractor strength (120)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • low-res offscreen canvas pattern (critical for perf)
  • visibility pause
  • pointer blob attractor
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • CPU-bound pixel loop — heavy on low-end devices
  • No reduced-motion fallback beyond a single static frame

More Particles & Physics components

  • Gravity Dot RainMulticolored dots fall under gravity with motion trails, bounce off the floor, and scatter away from the cursor on a dark navy canvas.
  • Firework BurstColorful glowing sparks burst radially, fall under gravity, and fade against a dark sky. Auto-launches bursts; click anywhere to add more.
  • Confetti CannonColored rectangles fire from bottom corners in auto-cycling bursts, tumbling with gravity and flip animation. Click anywhere to trigger a cursor burst.
  • Bouncing Balls7–14 glossy pastel balls bounce off walls and collide with elastic physics; cursor repels balls within a 70px radius.
  • Spring ChainA 16-node spring chain whips and follows the cursor in a lime-to-gold gradient; drifts in a figure-eight pattern when idle.
  • Cloth Wave GridAn 11x11 wireframe grid ripples like cloth via sine/cosine waves in cyan-to-violet hues; mesh nodes bulge away from the cursor on hover.
