"Stick" – A primitive/fun interactive demo of a tiny rig to animate layout

  I have no idea what this is about. I see no stick figure or anything interactive, when I open this on my iPhone. I’d does say Idle below the reset button though. To make things worse, if you scroll down, you can’t scroll back to page top. I assume the main area intercepts the touch events, blocking scrolling…

    LOL sorry my bad. Should have been more specific. It’s a demo of my layout library. The stick figure is made with a few primitives to form a so-called exclusion assembly which causes texts to flow around them. But what’s unique about it is that these primitive parts can be controlled independently via programmatic control. This turns them into a little rig essentially. I thought it was funny and could be even useful so I shared it.

    Whenever a web page doesn't work I try a different browser. You can do that on an iPhone right?

  Context: this is a demo of a deterministic layout calculation library https://github.com/cosmiciron/layoutmaster#dancing-text (not affiliated, I was just confused so saving you a click)

  You can use primitive exclusion assemblies to create a rig and programmatically control it to animate a layout in Layoutmaster.
