Dither & ASCII

A first screen whose picture is computed live: a plane of spheres under a low sun, printed in blue-noise dither, with a loupe under the pointer that shows it as shape-matched ASCII, a halftone screen, Bayer or the source.

A background of live ASCII: a drifting contour map set glyph by glyph in your mono face, matched to the shape of each cell, that bends round a hill the pointer raises, its upper contours in signal.

A button whose fill prints in cell by cell through the 8x8 Bayer order on hover and focus, with its label inverting exactly where each cell lands; press it and the screen halves to a finer grid.

A card whose image prints in cell by cell the first time it is seen, ordered-dithered with CSS alone, with a soft light that follows the pointer through the dither.

One source through every transform, split by a wipe you drag: a raymarched still life on the left, and on the right true Atkinson or Floyd–Steinberg diffusion, blue noise, Bayer, halftone or shape-matched ASCII.

A footer whose name is set in live ASCII: the wordmark drawn glyph by glyph in signal, printed in cell by cell as the footer rises, crossed by a slow light, and turned to paper under the pointer.

A heading that resolves from ASCII into type: its own letterforms redrawn in shape-matched glyphs step from coarse to fine as it comes into view, then a lens under the pointer shows the glyphs again.

A nav whose active link is marked by a band of ASCII density: characters thicken through a ramp under the active link and flow to the next one on a spring, its peak in signal.

Pricing where volume fills a plane of dots in blue-noise order: drag the images a month and the dots light evenly with no clumps, the newly lit ones flashing signal, while the plan that covers it lights up.

An ordered-dither transition: a new state prints in over the old one in 8x8 Bayer order while the screen refines from coarse cells to fine, or prints in from the ground on first view.

Drop an image and see it dithered right there, with CSS alone: choose the cell size and the ink, set the exposure, and the request URL for that output builds as you go; submitting copies it.
