Hero ASCII Reaction Front

Heroes 46

About

A full-bleed animated ASCII hero background driven by a live Gray-Scott reaction-diffusion simulation, where moving worm-like fronts crawl across the canvas and the pointer injects reagent to nucleate new fronts.

Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds Hero ASCII Reaction Front to your project and fits it to your theme.

Usage.tsx

import { ReactionFront } from "@/components/ui/hero-ascii-reaction-front";

export default function Demo() {
  return (
    <div className="relative h-screen w-full overflow-hidden bg-background">
      <ReactionFront className="absolute inset-0" />

            A Gray-Scott dish runs live under the type — a real solver, not a
            loop of noise. Only the ridge of the reaction interface is inked, so
            every front reads as a thin crawling line.
