Warp Type

Bold serif "WARP" sliced into vertical columns that ripple and bulge over swirling gold-amber lava blobs rendered with additive screen blending.

When to use it

Psychedelic or retro-poster hero sections, music/festival visuals, full-bleed ambient backgrounds needing dramatic motion.

When not to

Low-end mobile (per-frame offscreen drawImage slicing is CPU-bound). Layouts requiring legible, stable text.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change the word to 'FLUX', set slice width to 4 for smoother warp, and shift the blob palette to warm amber tones by replacing palette[0] and palette[2]. 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

  • word content (word='WARP')
  • slice column width (slice=6)
  • blob count (NB=6)
  • warp amplitude multipliers (dh*0.085, dh*0.05)
  • Fillmore palette array (palette[])
  • font size scale (S*0.30)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • offscreen text cache (off canvas rebuilt on resize)
  • blob gradient transform pattern (setTransform scale trick)
  • visibilitychange pause
  • reduced-motion static frame fallback
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Per-column drawImage slicing is CPU-bound — slice=6 means ~100+ draw calls per frame at full width
  • Font fallback to Georgia/Times means appearance varies if system fonts differ
  • No pointer/touch interactivity
