TITLE: GLOWWORKS — neon sign workshop
PROMPT: Design 'GLOWWORKS', a neon-sign workshop. Wall of dark brick (CSS gradient bricks with grout), a workbench where your sign is built letter by letter in neon tube style: each glyph a glowing SVG stroke (round linecaps) with layered outer glow and a glass highlight, flicker imperfections on random letters, and a soft wall light-spill matching the active hue. Palette selector: hot pink, electric cyan, lime, amber. Interactions: type your text and watch tubes bend into place with a spark pop per letter; per-letter color assignment via a click cycle; intensity knob adjusts glow and buzz volume (WebAudio hum, gesture-gated, mutable); FLICKER TEST simulates a dying tube; a photo-mode button frames the sign on the wall with a Polaroid flash. Loud light, quiet room.
DESCRIPTION: A dark studio: CSS brick wall with mortar grain and vignette, a wall-spill glow that tracks the active gas color, and the sign itself — big rounded letters built as individual spans with four-layer text-shadow tube glow, mounting brackets, and a dashed backboard. Typing re-bends the tubes letter by letter with a flip-in animation and spark sound; random letters develop chronic flicker (dying-tube keyframes); four gas swatches (hot pink, cyan, lime, amber) re-dye sign, spill, and UI accent; an intensity slider drives glow radius, wall spill, and the transformer's milliamp readout; flicker test strobes the whole sign; photo mode fires a camera flash and produces a tilted Polaroid with a mini glowing copy of your sign; cut power kills everything to dead grey. A transformer box with a load bar hums at the wall's base.
TECHNIQUES: pure-CSS brick wall (repeating gradients + radial noise), four-layer text-shadow neon glow with intensity-scaled radii, per-letter span construction with staggered flip-in and randomized dying-tube flicker animations, CSS-variable accent propagation across sign/spill/UI, WebAudio sawtooth transformer hum through a lowpass (gesture-gated, mutable) plus square-wave spark pops, Polaroid flash choreography, toast system.
INTERACTION: Type to bend new tubes (14 char max); gas swatches change color; intensity slider scales glow and hum; flicker test strobes; photo mode flashes and prints a Polaroid; sound toggle enables hum and sparks; cut power silences and dims the entire studio.
