Ukiyo-e Woodblock

Moon Tide

A cream full moon with concentric halo rings rises over 5 layered indigo tide bands with rolling sine-wave crests and sparse foam dabs in woodblock style.

When to use it

Dark-mode hero backgrounds, Japanese aesthetic themes, ambient looping screensavers, or oceanic/night-sky contexts.

When not to

Light backgrounds (sky and water hardcoded dark indigo). Contexts needing legible text overlays — wave motion competes with reading.

Working with an AI agent

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

Change CORAL to '#c084fc' (purple), shift SKY1 to '#0f0f2e' for a deeper night, and increase moonR multiplier from 0.135 to 0.18 for a larger moon.

Safe to edit

  • moon size (moonR = Math.min(W,H)*0.135)
  • palette constants (SKY1, SKY2, CORAL, BANDS array)
  • wave speed per band (spd[i] = 0.18+t*0.14)
  • number of tide bands (nb=5)
  • foam color (FOAM='#cfe0e6')
  • moon position (moonX=W*0.70, moonY=H*0.30)

Keep intact

  • DPR-aware canvas sizing and ctx.setTransform
  • visibilitychange pause/resume loop
  • reduced-motion static fallback (frame(2.0))
  • IIFE wrapper

Known limitations

  • Background and water colors hardcoded — must edit constants to change color scheme
  • No pointer interactivity; strictly passive ambient
  • Wave step size (W/60) may produce slightly chunky crests on very wide displays
