  Nice work! Haven’t seen anything like this before. It makes me happy that people do stuff like this. Small experiments often open up big new design ideas.

    Thank you! This can make it quite easy to create demos like those “dragon swimming through text” animations that became popular recently. I had no idea what other real-world applications we could use it for, but it was fun to be able to do it, LOL.

  I have no idea what this is about. I see no stick figure or anything interactive, when I open this on my iPhone. I’d does say Idle below the reset button though. To make things worse, if you scroll down, you can’t scroll back to page top. I assume the main area intercepts the touch events, blocking scrolling…

    LOL sorry my bad. Should have been more specific. It’s a demo of my layout library. The stick figure is made with a few primitives to form a so-called exclusion assembly which causes texts to flow around them. But what’s unique about it is that these primitive parts can be controlled independently via programmatic control. This turns them into a little rig essentially. I thought it was funny and could be even useful so I shared it.

    It's strange that happened. I had no issue loading it on my iPhone 16e in Safari or Chrome... Could it be somehow your browser prevent Javascript from loading?

    Whenever a web page doesn't work I try a different browser. You can do that on an iPhone right?

      I did not make the demo specifically for mobile browsers, but it does work rather well on my iPhone 16e with Safari and Chrome. I also tried it on my Pixel 10 and did not encounter any issues. The library itself is tiny ~250K so it should load right away.

        It kills drag scroll over the flow text on my android

    It works on my Android phone with Vivaldi, though I need to be careful because the text doesn't allow me to scroll

  Context: this is a demo of a deterministic layout calculation library https://github.com/cosmiciron/layoutmaster#dancing-text (not affiliated, I was just confused so saving you a click)

    Thanks for the help and clarification.

  You can use primitive exclusion assemblies to create a rig and programmatically control it to animate a layout in Layoutmaster.

  Quite neat! Seems like a very fun library. This demo is very similar to what was posted as well:

  Can see how this could make a few useful "splash" pages on projects I'm working on now. Just need to prep a video with a proper green screen.

  Definitely have to attribute this to some of the better web APIs that have become standardize over the last 10 years.

  While we aren't close to replicating the ease of flash, modern animation techniques have closed the gap considerably.

  Also anything to move away from greensock is always a plus in my book.
