Motion design primitives
Synthesizable in Remotion · key components of the pixel-pachinko-launch template.
PixelScorePop
Numeric score values appear rapidly, often in a burst, with a pixelated aesthetic and slight upward trajectory before fading. Different colors indicate different score types.
+ Code construction recipe
Use `interpolate` for opacity and Y-position, `spring` for initial burst, and a custom pixel font. Implement a `map` function to assign colors based on score value or type.
SkillTreeReveal
A complex node-based skill tree is revealed with a quick zoom-out, showing interconnected paths and highlighted active nodes. Individual nodes might have subtle glow or pulse effects.
+ Code construction recipe
Utilize `scale` and `opacity` interpolation for the zoom-out. SVG paths for connections, with `stroke-dashoffset` animation for drawing. Node highlights can use `box-shadow` or `filter: drop-shadow` with `spring` for pulsing.
BouncyTextReveal
Large, bold, pixelated text appears with a playful, bouncy animation, often accompanied by radial light rays or particle bursts. Each letter might animate independently.
+ Code construction recipe
Break text into individual characters. Apply `spring` animation to `scale` and `y-position` for each character with a slight delay. Radial gradient or SVG filter for light rays, and `canvas` for particle bursts.

The PixelScorePop primitive will be adapted for 'Task Completion' notifications, showing '+1 Task' or '+50 XP'. The SkillTreeReveal will become a 'Customization Tree' for app themes or widget unlocks. BouncyTextReveal will be used for 'New Feature Unlocked!' alerts and the final 'TaskBlaster' logo reveal. The checkerboard background will be adapted to a retro-computing grid, and the energetic electronic music will remain, synchronized with UI interactions.Remix blueprint · pixel-pachinko-launch
