Luminous Silt
Dense field of 18K particles creating soft color clouds through alpha accumulation over a noise-driven flow field.
What is Luminous Silt?
Luminous Silt is a free Canvas 2D web effect in the TappyPrism library. Dense field of 18K particles creating soft color clouds through alpha accumulation over a noise-driven flow field. It is drawn with the Canvas 2D API, which trades some GPU efficiency for the widest possible browser and device support. It ships as a single self-contained HTML file (luminous-silt.html) with zero dependencies — no npm package, no framework, no build step. It exposes 2 live parameters — Drift Speed, Density — adjustable in the browser or at runtime.
Parameters
| Parameter | Key | Range | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drift Speed | DRIFT_SPEED | 0.1 – 2 | 0.6 |
| Density | DENSITY | 0.3 – 2 | 1 |
