Psychedelic
Ripple Bloom
22 lobed color rings bloom outward from a glowing center in pink-magenta-violet-cyan hues, cycling with a slow organic wobble via additive blending.

When to use it
Dark-mode hero backgrounds, psychedelic or creative portfolio themes, ambient looping screensavers needing constant motion.
When not to
Light-background layouts (background hardcoded #0a0612). Any context requiring legible text overlays or low-motion environments.
Working with an AI agent
Every component ships agent-ready metadata. An example instruction for this one:
Change NRINGS to 30, shift the palette first entry to [58,255,200] for a teal-dominant bloom, and slow the phase increment from 0.0011 to 0.0007. 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
- ring count (NRINGS=22)
- palette (PAL array)
- phase speed (phase[k]+=0.0011)
- swirl intensity (Math.sin(t*0.25)*0.5)
- lobe count (5 + k%3)
- max radius (MAXR = Math.hypot*0.62)
- theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)
Keep intact
- IIFE wrapper
- prefers-reduced-motion static fallback (drawOneFrame)
- visibilitychange pause/resume
- DPR-aware canvas sizing
- theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)
Known limitations
- Background color hardcoded in CSS and JS fillRect — must change both to alter background
- additive blending (globalCompositeOperation=lighter) clips to white on very dense overlaps
- No pointer interactivity — purely autonomous
