A live homage to the "Dither + ASCII + Motion" look: an image dissolved into a fine ink halftone of real glyphs. It reads photographic from across the room and dissolves into individual characters up close.

- Dither — ordered Bayer stipple maps every tone to ink grain — no greys, only density
- ASCII — every square cell is a real monospace glyph, from
@, chosen by the brightness under it - Motion — the stipple lattice "boils" frame by frame, a living halftone rather than a frozen one
- 3D — the whole plate tilts to your cursor on a live perspective, with parallax depth
- Two inks — strongly red pixels (a rising sun, a seal, a tongue) print in vermilion accent ink
- Ink — click / tap to cycle the ink & paper (sumi · indigo · vermilion · jade)
The page renders dragon.jpg from the repo root — drop in any image with that
name and it becomes the artwork, card aspect and all. If the file is missing,
a procedurally drawn giant panda takes its place. Visitors can also drag &
drop (or tap 换图 Swap Image) to dither any picture of their own, live.
