Flag Pixel Spacing Variants

Flag Pixel Spacing Variants

Overview

Two new variants of FlagPixel that progressively reduce tile size and increase spacing, moving from a dense mosaic toward a sparse dot-matrix aesthetic. Both add rounded corners via ShapeGeometry.


New Flare: FlagPixelLoose

Airy variant with smaller rounded-corner tiles and generous spacing.

  • Tiles fill 48% horizontal / 36% vertical (vs 82% in FlagPixel)

  • Vertical gaps roughly double horizontal gaps

  • Rounded corners via THREE.ShapeGeometry with quadratic bezier curves

  • Configurable cornerRadius prop (0-0.5, default 0.35)

  • Same wave physics and parallax as FlagPixel

New Flare: FlagPixelLooser

Sparsest variant — tiles shrink further with spacing increased by another third.

  • Tiles fill 32% horizontal / 24% vertical

  • Approaching a dot-matrix / sparse LED display look

  • Default cornerRadius bumped to 0.4 (rounder at small size)

  • Same wave physics and parallax as FlagPixel
