Title: Particle Constellation — Star Cartographer
Creative prompt: Chart a living night sky where drifting stars link into teal constellations. Let visitors pan, zoom, and name their own gold stars across three fields. It should feel patient, wonder-struck, and quietly scientific.
Design description: An ink panel holds a wide star canvas with header stats beside stacked control and field-note cards; three explainer cards and a letterspaced footer close a calm serif-and-mono layout in teal, gold, and ink.
Major visual techniques:
- Canvas star field with drift, twinkle phases, proximity link lines, dark rift
- Gold halo rings on named stars, twinkle pulse keyframe on header
- Pan/zoom transform stack, responsive two-column collapse
Interaction model: Drag pans and wheel zooms the field; link-distance, star-count, and drift sliders reshape the sky; field buttons reseed regions; clicking stars names them gold with log entries, plus name-brightest and release-all tools.
