Haunted CLI

under the hood

How it works

• The agent wrote the scene in RML through the Rive CLI.
• The terminal renders to an offscreen GPU Canvas and runs through a CRT shader I wrote in WGSL.
• A state machine and some Luau scripts handle the typing.
• One data-bound number, possession, runs it all. As it climbs, the text, cursor, shader and preview window go wrong together.
• I animated the preview by hand in the Rive Editor.
