React Plasma Background
Classic demoscene plasma background for React and Next.js — four interfering wave sources drive a cycling vivid palette for a hallucinogenic full-viewport effect.
React Plasma Background preview
A hallucinogenic, palette-cycling plasma straight out of a 90s demoscene intro — magenta, purple, cyan and acid yellow sweeping across the viewport in overlapping wave fronts with a drifting radial hot spot. Built on the same low-res-buffer-plus-palette-LUT trick as silk, except with four wave sources and a time-shifted palette index so the colors rotate continuously on top of the motion. Zero dependencies, 60fps on a mid-range laptop, and tuned bright enough to read as energy without turning into strobe. Perfect for hackathon splash pages, music-app heroes, psychedelic portfolio intros and retro-inspired launch pages.
