What this is
Glyph Weave grows a field of noise and cuts it into shapes on a grid of cells. Every shape stands on walls that fall to one side, up to four tiers seen along one line of sight, and every layer fills its cells with a lattice and a mark: stripes, checks, dots, crosses or bricks. Type a word and its letters join the matter, raised or carved. Time here is a count of frames, so every loop closes exactly, and a PNG, a GIF, a zip of frames or an MP4 always repeats without a seam. It runs on your graphics card with WebGL2, and nothing leaves your machine.
How to use it
- Pick a preset on the right, or press Reroll, Mutate or Wild above the art. Drag the art to travel through the field; the wheel zooms.
- Press Breed for nine live variations and click the one you want. Raise the tiers, type words, or give any layer a new pattern, mark and colour.
- Save this frame as a PNG, or the whole loop as a GIF, an MP4 or a zip of frames, from the bar above the art.

Common questions
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. The panel becomes a sheet you pull up from the bottom, and the art fills the screen above it. Drag still travels through the field; pinch-zoom is the browser's, so use Scale under Field instead.
Is anything uploaded?
No. There is nothing to upload: the picture is made from a number, and every export is written in the browser.
