Blob Lamp

9 glowing metaballs slowly rise, sway, merge and split through a violet-magenta-amber color ramp on a dark canvas — lava lamp in canvas pixels.

When to use it

Dark-mode hero backgrounds, psychedelic/creative portfolio sections, ambient looping screensavers needing organic blob motion.

When not to

Light-background layouts (background hardcoded dark). Low-end mobile — CPU-bound pixel loop runs every frame. Contexts needing legible overlaid text.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change blob count to 12 (N=12), shift the ramp amber stop to cool teal (#80ffea) at index 1.00, and slow rise speed range to 0.010–0.020. 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=9)
  • rise speed range (0.018–0.048 in bv[])
  • color ramp stops array
  • pixel block size (SC=4)
  • swirl warp amplitude (0.06)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • low-res offscreen grid pattern (critical for perf)
  • visibilitychange pause/start
  • reduced-motion one-shot static frame
  • IIFE wrapper
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • CPU-bound pixel loop — heavy on low-end devices at SC=4
  • Light re-theme via the [data-theme=light] token block; catalog bg/accent describe the dark default
  • No pointer interactivity — fully passive

  • Swirl Vortex5 petal arms across 11 rings rotate at differential speeds to create a slow inward vortex in pink-violet-cyan hues with a glowing core.
  • Ripple Bloom22 lobed color rings bloom outward from a glowing center in pink-magenta-violet-cyan hues, cycling with a slow organic wobble via additive blending.
  • Paisley Drift30 psychedelic paisley teardrops drift and morph across a near-black field in green, sage, and gold using additive blending and a trail-wash smear effect.
