When to use it

Spring or nature-themed hero backgrounds, Japanese aesthetic UIs, ambient screensaver-style displays.

When not to

Light-mode UIs (sky hardcoded dark indigo). Layouts needing legible text overlay — petals compete with reading.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change petal count to 60 by setting N=60, shift the palette to warm gold by setting PETAL_A="#f5e0a0", PETAL_B="#e8c96d", PETAL_C="#faf0c0", and slow fall speed by changing the rnd range in psp to (0.10, 0.30). 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

  • petal count (N=110)
  • fall speed range (psp rnd 0.18..0.55)
  • petal color palette (PETAL_A/B/C)
  • sky gradient stops (SKY_TOP/MID/LOW/HORIZON)
  • mountain position and size (bx, peakY, halfW)
  • drift amplitude multiplier (*6 in drawPetals)
  • theme tokens (:root dark defaults + [data-theme=light] overrides)

Keep intact

  • DPR-aware canvas sizing and setTransform
  • visibilitychange stop/start guard
  • reduced-motion static single-frame fallback
  • IIFE wrapper
  • theme hook (?theme= bootstrap + forever:theme message listener + theme tokens)

Known limitations

  • Sky and background color hardcoded — must edit CSS and gradient stops to change scheme
  • No pointer interactivity — petals ignore cursor
  • Redraws full scene every frame including static mountain and sky (no dirty-rect optimisation)
