UI-morph loop director spec

Structured <inputs>/<rules> spec for a looping shape that morphs through 8–12 UI states.

UI-morph loop director spec by zero
<inputs> Ask me for: 8 to 12 UI states I want the shape to become (e.g. button, loader, player, slider, toggle, tabs, chart, command palette, toast), pure black and white or one accent color, and a royalty-free song around 120 BPM (e.g. Mixkit, free for commercial use). </inputs> <direction> Dribbble-level UI motion. One shape, never cut: every state is the same element morphing its size, radius and color while its content swaps with a short blur. A cursor drives every change with real clicks and drags. Light warm-gray canvas, black and white components, one clean UI font (Geist). Springs everywhere, a tiny overshoot at most. The camera zooms so each state fills the frame. The last frame is the first frame, so it loops. Banned: bouncy easing, particle bursts, glows, gradients on UI chrome, mismatched icon strokes, dead time, anything that looks like a template. </direction> <structure> 120 BPM, 7 bars, something happens on every beat. Button → loader → check → dynamic island → music player with a play/pause morph → scrub the progress bar → it becomes a volume slider that stretches when dragged past max → a toggle flips on the beat → the knob becomes a liquid tab indicator → the tabs open into a chart that draws itself, with a tooltip on hover → it collapses into ⌘K → type to filter → enter → toast → back to the button. </structure> <build> 1. One HTML file, square 1440x1440. Every style is computed from time inside seek(t): no CSS transitions, no timers, no state carried between frames. 2. Springs are closed-form step responses. A value that changes target many times is the sum of one spring per change, so it stays a pure function of time. 3. The tab indicator's two edges ride different springs, so the leading edge stretches ahead of the trailing one. Same trick for the toggle knob. 4. Drags are direct manipulation: while the cursor is held, the value is computed from its position. On release it springs back from wherever it was. 5. Analyze the song with numpy for the beat grid and start on a downbeat. Place every UI sound by its measured peak. 6. Render with Playwright: 4 subframes per frame, blended with ffmpeg tmix for motion blur at 60fps. 7. Render one frame per beat before the full render. Fix anything off the grid, cramped or hard to read. </build> <gotchas> Never put will-change on anything the camera scales or the text renders blurry. Text that swaps inside a morphing container needs its own enter and exit timing or it overlaps. Make the last frame identical to the first, cursor position and speed included, or the loop stutters. </gotchas> <start> Ask me for the inputs, then show me the state list on the beat grid before you write any code. </start>

Animated pixel-art wizard (Canvas 2D)

Single-file HTML/Canvas spec for a 16-bit pixel-art wizard casting a spell in a seamless loop.

Animated pixel-art wizard (Canvas 2D) by Majid Manzarpour
Create a single self-contained HTML file that renders an animated pixel art wizard casting a spell, using vanilla JavaScript and Canvas 2D. No external assets, libraries, or network requests. RENDERING - Draw everything to an offscreen canvas at a fixed logical resolution of 128x96, then blit to a fullscreen display canvas scaled by the largest integer factor that fits the window, centered, with imageSmoothingEnabled = false and CSS image-rendering: pixelated. - All drawing snaps to integer coordinates on the logical canvas. No sub-pixel positions, anti-aliasing, gradients, or shadowBlur. - Fixed palette of ~24 hex colors: deep blues/purples for night sky, warm robe tones, 3-4 bright magic colors. Every pixel comes from this palette. CHARACTER - Build the wizard procedurally from filled rects and pixel runs, ~24x32 logical pixels: pointed hat with a bend, long beard, two-shade robe with darker outline, staff with a gem at the tip. - Parameterize the pose (staff angle, arm raise, head tilt, robe sway). Animate parameters smoothly, then quantize to the pixel grid each frame so motion reads at an 8-12 fps pixel animation feel even though the loop runs at 60fps. ANIMATION - Looping state machine: IDLE (2-frame bob, beard sway) -> CHARGE (staff raises, gem flickers, sparks spiral inward) -> CAST (bright burst, projectile fires across the scene, 1-2 pixel screen shake) -> RECOVER (settle back). Ease pose parameters between keyframes. - Pooled allocation-free particle system: preallocate and reuse. Sparks orbit the gem during CHARGE, explode outward on CAST, each particle stepping its palette index from white to magic color to dark before despawn. Snap particle positions to the grid when drawing. - Fixed 60hz timestep update with rAF rendering. Zero object allocation inside the loop. SCENE - Minimal background: dark sky, a few twinkling 1px stars, moon, stone floor line. Character silhouette must read clearly. - Subtle 1px rim light on the wizard from the gem, brightening during CHARGE and CAST. QUALITY BAR - Crisp pixels at any window size, seamless loop, stable 60fps, readable silhouette. Should look like a polished 16-bit sprite animation, not vector shapes scaled down.
