TITLE: WOVEN — the loom studio
PROMPT: Create 'WOVEN', a loom studio: a wooden floor loom frame with warp threads stretched taut; you pass a shuttle to weave weft rows — each pass animates the shuttle sliding, the heddle shifting half a thread, and the beater packing the row with a thock; patterns emerge from a draft chart (plain weave, twill, herringbone, overshot hearts). Palette: undyed flax base with madder red, indigo, and marigold skeins. Interactions: click or press SPACE to throw the shuttle (rhythm matters — sloppy timing leaves loose rows); a draft grid lets you paint your own pattern; yarn chips change the active weft color mid-cloth; tension slider puckers or smooths the fabric; UNPICK removes rows; EXPORT unfolds the finished cloth. Meditative, textural, craft-true.
DESCRIPTION: A wooden floor loom with turned side posts, taut flax warp threads, and a shifting heddle bar. Each shuttle pass (button or SPACE) weaves one row: the heddle alternates the shed, weft threads interlace over/under per the active draft, and a beater bar sweeps down to pack the row with a low thock (WebAudio, gesture-gated). The draft strip below offers plain weave, 2/2 twill, herringbone, and rose path presets plus a paintable 16-cell custom draft; six yarn chips change weft color mid-cloth (madder, indigo, marigold, flax, moss, plum); a tension slider puckers or smooths the weaving with sinusoidal distortion; UNPICK removes the last row and FINISH exports the cloth as PNG. Two welcome rows weave themselves on load.
TECHNIQUES: canvas warp/weft rendering with over-under interlacing offsets from the draft chart, heddle/beater choreography with timed CSS transitions, WebAudio filtered triangle thock, draft-grid pattern editor with preset library, tension-driven sinusoidal pucker distortion, per-thread fuzz detailing, toDataURL export, keyboard (SPACE) weaving.
INTERACTION: Click THROW SHUTTLE or press SPACE to weave rows (heddle shifts, beater packs, thock sounds); paint the draft grid to design custom structures; presets swap patterns; yarn chips change weft color mid-cloth; tension slider re-drapes the fabric; UNPICK and FINISH CLOTH complete the craft loop.
