Summary
This adds eight original native effects to ttfx:
airstrike— ASCII planes dive into the text through fire and debrisautomata— a fractal elementary cellular automaton resolves into the textbubblepop— rainbow-shimmering bubbles rise, pop, and reveal the textmalfunction— a cheerful printer produces nonsense before smoothly printing the textreverselife— Conway's Game of Life runs backward from chaos into readable letteringroses— curling vines, pink roses, and falling petals flower into the textsunshower— rain, clouds, a rising sun, and a rainbow paint the textvoronoi— living crystal grows into a faceted Voronoi mosaic and returns to the textThe transitions deliberately connect each animation to the final lettering, and the longer choreography is intended to feel satisfying as a full-screen screensaver rather than a brief CLI flourish.
A small personal note
These effects were dreamed up, watched, critiqued, and refined together with my children and OpenAI Codex. The children were enthusiastic creative directors and the ultimate quality test: the goal was to make something playful enough to genuinely delight them. Codex collaborated on the design iterations and implementation.
