Playful, experimental pieces.

## Ambient scenes

9 toys

- Drift · A seeded, animated particle field. Type a seed to reshape it.
- Lighthouse Keeper · A seashore day in twenty-four minutes: a turning beam, drifting weather, a watch digest.
- Matrix Digital Rain · Seeded columns of glyphs falling with bright heads and decaying trails.
- Night Train · A seeded, endless night journey past procedural landscapes, weather, stations, and tunnels.
- Office After Midnight · A seeded empty night office on security cameras, with rare unexplained events.
- Packet Aquarium · A seeded ambient tank where synthetic network traffic swims as protocol species.
- Snow Globe · A seeded glass globe you furnish from a workshop palette; shake it and the flakes settle.
- Tiny Planet · A seed-driven miniature planet you observe from orbit: terrain, moons, eclipses.
- Windows · A seeded window onto a quiet, impossible place, with rare unhurried events.

## Small ecosystems

3 toys

- Ant Colony · A seeded ant colony: pheromone trails and an underground cutaway; add food, rocks, rain.
- Emoji Ecology · A seeded cellular-automaton ecology of plants, water, herbivores, and fire.
- Terminal Terrarium · A seeded terminal ecosystem where weather and light drive plants, fungi, and grazers.

## Instruments and consoles

6 toys

- Chiptune Tracker · Compose on a step grid over four chip voices, play it, and export the WAV.
- Display Lab · A seeded historical-display exhibit with CRT scanlines, phosphor, and artifacts.
- Listening Port · A seeded deep-space radio observatory with a live spectrum, waterfall, and event log.
- Radio Between Stations · Tune a fictional FM band where a seed hides stations, with audio and saved bookmarks.
- Signal Lab · Generate DTMF, Bell MF and 2600 Hz, and watch the decoder name the tones back.
- Weather Machine · A seeded atmospheric console whose dials drive the sky, clouds, wind, and precipitation.

## Builders and games

5 toys

- Cyberpunk Terminal · A seeded synthetic network you explore from a prompt: missions drawn from a pool.
- Data Centre Dungeon · Work a night shift on a seeded floor: triage incidents, dispatch one crew, read the report.
- Pipeline Factory · Build a Unix text pipeline over a seeded log: see rows shrink, get the command.
- Space Station Builder · Build a cosy orbital station from a palette of modules; a comfort readout describes it.
- Treehouse Architect · Build a treehouse on a seeded tree's branch anchors; a structural readout rates it.

## Deterministic generators

4 toys

- ASCII Banner · Turn text into a five-row ASCII-art banner.
- Entropy Fountain · A seeded, deterministic fountain of bytes: the same seed replays the same spray.
- Hash Landscape · A deterministic decorative landscape generated from a text's SHA-256 digest.
- Hashprint · A deterministic, symmetric identicon generated from any text.

## Curiosities

3 toys

- Hourglass & Focus Timer · A tactile hourglass countdown / Pomodoro / count-up timer. Flip it, in your browser.
- Strange Clocks · Unusual ways to render the current instant: terminal, epoch, hex, word, analogue.
- Pet Rock · A desktop pet rock that does nothing, wrapped in infinite absurd diagnostics.
