Variables
Every one of these has a default, so the piece works untouched. Set the ones you want to change on the element:| Variable | Default | Accepts | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
text | HYPERFRAMES | string | Word the scramble resolves into. One scrambling cell per character, up to 32. |
accent | green | green, blue, violet | Colour family of the cells and their glow. |
size | 64 | 24px to 160px, step 4px | Type size of the cells in pixels. Cell width follows it. |
glow | standard | none, standard, strong | Strength of the halo behind the cells, from none to a heavy bloom. |
data-variable-values on the element that mounts it. These are the
defaults, so this behaves exactly like the preview above until you change one:
<div
data-composition-id="matrix-decode"
data-composition-src="compositions/components/matrix-decode.html"
data-variable-values='{"text":"HYPERFRAMES","accent":"green","size":64,"glow":"standard"}'
></div>

Matrix Decode - remocn typography primitive for HyperFrames.
Paste the markup, CSS and script into a composition. Drive the timeline
integration from a paused GSAP timeline so renders remain deterministic.
Variables. The script reads each one, falls back to the declared default on
anything missing or invalid, and writes the result as a custom property the
CSS consumes (or, for the target text, as the cells themselves). The timeline
recipe below is untouched by them: it keeps staggering whatever cells are
present.
- text (text, default HYPERFRAMES): the word the scramble resolves into.
One scrambling cell per character, up to 32. Also written to data-final,
which a decode routine can read.
- accent (green | blue | violet, default green): colour family of the cells
and of their glow.
- size (24 to 160 px, default 64): type size of the cells. The per-cell
minimum width is a fixed fraction of it, so the row scales as a whole.
- glow (none | standard | strong, default standard): halo strength behind
the cells, from no shadow at all to a heavy bloom.
On every default the result is identical to the original: eleven 64px green
cells with an 18px halo.
