Pointillist

Divisionist Tree

2600 orange, blue, and magenta dots form a tree canopy using additive pixel-splat blending; dots vibrate with staggered sine-phase for optical color mixing.

When to use it

Dark-background hero sections, generative art displays, nature or botanical themes needing ambient motion without interactivity.

When not to

Light backgrounds (dark navy hardcoded). Low-end devices — per-frame pixel loop over 2600 dots is CPU-bound.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change canopy palette to cool purples and greens: set PAL indices 0-2 to [160,80,220],[120,60,200],[80,40,180] and rerun. 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

  • dot count cap (MAX=2600)
  • palette colors (PAL array)
  • vibration speed (t*1.4 and t*1.7)
  • canopy radius (canopyR=S*0.34)
  • lobe count and positions (lobes array)
  • pulse amplitude (0.62 + 0.38*Math.sin)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • additive splat pixel buffer (img/data pattern)
  • IIFE wrapper
  • reduced-motion static frameStatic() fallback
  • visibilitychange pause/resume
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Per-frame pixel loop over up to 2600 dots — CPU-bound on low-end mobile
  • Background color hardcoded to #0d0f14 in both CSS and BG array — must change both
  • No interactivity — purely autonomous

More Pointillist components

  • Dot AssembleThousands of colored dots scatter from off-screen and converge to paint a pointillist sunrise scene — hill, sky, and sun disc — then dissolve and loop.
  • Pointillist ShimmerUp to 2600 colored dots optically mix to paint a pointillist riverbank at dusk — sky, water, and grassy bank zones shimmer via per-dot breathing sine waves.
  • Pointillist SunsetA glowing sun sets over shimmering water rendered as colored dot lattices. Sky baked once offscreen; water dots animate with sinusoidal shimmer and sparkle.
  • Stipple Flow108 colored dots drift along a curling sinusoidal flow field, leaving slow translucent trails that paint a sweeping diagonal arc with divisionist…
  • Density WaveA density wave sweeps left to right revealing a Divisionist sunset — sky, sun disc, and sea rendered as jittered pigment dots that optically mix at distance.
  • Halftone BloomColored dots bloom radially from center, optically mixing amber, magenta, and teal into a glowing flower. Slow ripple breathes through the dot grid.
