✨ feedback — bestie edition ✨

🦋 NAME 🦋

feedback — stirring colors with a jiggling warp. no cap, that's literally the whole pitch and honestly? it ate.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

feedback [--root/-r] [--maxfps/-x number] [--vsync/-y number] [--dpms/-M
number] [--grey/-g] [--saturation/-S number] [--lightness/-L number]
[--period/-p number] [--speed/-s number] [--cells/-c number]
[--texsize/-t number] [--grid/-i]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so the way this works is genuinely iconic: colors get swirled by repeatedly mapping a spring loaded grid onto a uniform grid, and it keeps pulling in new colors from the cycling perimeter. it's giving ✨endless hypnotic soup✨ and i'm obsessed.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -r, --root — draw it on the root window. yes, the whole root window. main character energy, fr fr.
• -x, --maxfps number — sets the maximum frame rate. you want it fast, you want it smooth, you tell it here.
• -y, --vsync number — limits redraws to the specified number of vertical refreshes. range is 0 - 100. default: 1. keep it chill, avoid the tearing 😌
• -M, --dpms number — stops rendering new frames if the display is not on. range is 0 - 1. default: 1. like... if the screen is asleep, so is the renderer. respectful 🫶
• -g, --grey — use greyscale instead of the hue wheel. monochrome era 💀
• -S, --saturation number — sets color saturation. range is 0 - 255. default: 255. turn it down for a moodier vibe check.
• -L, --lightness number — sets color lightness. range is 0 - 255. default: 255. crank it for that glow-up ✨
• -p, --period number — sets the color cycling period in seconds. range is 0 - 100. default: 5.
• -s, --speed number — sets the speed of the warping grid wobble. range is 1 - 100. default: 10. this is the jiggle dial. the jiggle dial!! 🕺
• -c, --cells number — sets the height and width of the warping grid, in powers of 2. range is 0 - 6. default: 3.
• -t, --texsize number — sets the height and width of the warped texture, in powers of 2. range is 6 - 12. default: 8.
• -i, --grid — turns on rendering of the warping grid. you get to see the machinery. lowkey my favorite 🙈

🌈 ENVIRONMENT 🌈

• DISPLAY — used to get the default host and display number. that's it, that's the whole section, but it's important so don't skip it bestie.
