How this risograph style animation was coded from scratch

A viral risograph-style animation blew up with no prompt attached, so this developer reverse-engineered it from scratch. He wrote a 10,000-character brief describing every act, ink color, and halftone screen angle, then had Claude Code build it as one self-contained file with zero libraries, images, or fonts, every texture, ripple, and hand-lettered signature is drawn live by code.

The whole thing runs as a pure function of time, so it can jump to any frame with nothing flickering. About 5 hours 40 minutes of back-and-forth got it here.

Made by u/GoldianSummer. This write-up follows the original post; it is not an independent product test.
