## Description

This project is a customizable animation engine and digital rain visualizer. It functions as a dynamic visual effects sandbox and WebGL graphics demonstration that simulates falling code animations.

The system distinguishes itself through the use of browser address bar parameters to modify colors, geometry, and animation speed in real time. It allows for the integration of live camera feeds and static images to create mirrored or masked compositions.

The engine covers high-performance graphics rendering, coordinate-based perspective mapping, and dynamic color palette customization via themed presets.
