Golden Throne
Sacred geometry mandala with golden ratio spirals and counter-rotating layers.
What is Golden Throne?
Golden Throne is a free WebGL web effect in the TappyPrism library. Sacred geometry mandala with golden ratio spirals and counter-rotating layers. It is rendered on the GPU by a fragment shader, so it costs almost nothing on the CPU and works well as a full-screen background. It ships as a single self-contained HTML file (golden-throne.html) with zero dependencies — no npm package, no framework, no build step. It exposes 2 live parameters — Rotation Speed, Complexity — adjustable in the browser or at runtime.
Parameters
| Parameter | Key | Range | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rotation Speed | ROTATION_SPEED | 0 – 1 | 0.3 |
| Complexity | COMPLEXITY | 2 – 8 | 5 |
