Maze Growth

Generative maze that grows outward from a seed cell, drawing itself as a living background. Canvas-based, self-contained, pauses when off screen and stops entirely under prefers-reduced-motion.

Files written

velocityx drops these into your project:

• components/velocity/maze-growth/MazeGrowth.astro

Peer dependencies

None.

Theming

Colours come from the primary-* / accent-* Tailwind scales, so this drops into a project that is not Velocity without dragging our brand in. Install the contract once:

velocityx theme

Then set your whole brand in one place — raw RGB channels, not hex (a hex here silently breaks every opacity variant):

:root {
  --vx-brand: custom;
  --vx-primary-600: 220 38 38;
}

There is no component-level font-family anywhere in the library — your font cascade wins.

Licence

MIT. Once installed it is yours — no attribution, no revocation.
