I’ll build a self-contained lamp with animated wax, a glass vessel and desk, plus a power switch that lets the wax cool and settle when turned off.

I’m giving it a warm, quiet desk-side feel: brushed metal, amber glass, and softly glowing wax. The wax will use a heat-driven simulation with smoothly merging shapes, and the controls will include three colors and a brightness slider.

The lamp and controls are built. Switching it off cuts the light and lets the wax cool and sink; switching it back on reheats the wax. I’m checking the phone layout and simulation now, including the fallback for browsers without WebGL.

The simulation check caught a tendency for the wax to gather in the middle over time. I’ve adjusted the heating and cooling zones; a ten-minute simulation now shows every blob continuing to travel from bottom to top and back. I’m finishing touch-target and rendering checks. Browser FPS measurements aren’t available here because the Linux test host couldn’t be reached.
