Drops the 12 zodiac PNGs, their loader/similarity-transform renderer and the art anchors in constellations.js; build_constellations.py no longer emits art data. Constellation mode now shows just the Stellarium traces, labels and stars.

# CLAUDE.md
|

|
||
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
|
||
|
||
## What this is
|
||
|
||
A KDE Plasma 6 wallpaper plugin — a dancing retrowave robot (DANCEBOT-9000) that reacts to currently playing music via `playerctl`. No build step, no dependencies to install; the plugin is deployed directly.
|
||
|
||
Plugin ID: `com.vini.dancingcharacter`
|
||
Install path: `~/.local/share/plasma/wallpapers/com.vini.dancingcharacter`
|
||
|
||
## Deploy / test cycle
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Install (or reinstall after edits)
|
||
./install.sh
|
||
|
||
# Remove
|
||
./uninstall.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
After install, activate via: Right-click desktop → Configure Desktop and Wallpaper → Wallpaper Type → Dancing Character.
|
||
|
||
Plasma hot-reloads QML changes when you reinstall; for HTML/CSS/JS changes you may need to switch away and back to the wallpaper type to force a reload.
|
||
|
||
**Runtime requirement**: `QtWebEngine` QML module must be installed (e.g., `qml6-module-qtwebengine` on Debian/Ubuntu). `playerctl` must be running for the music ticker to show track info.
|
||
|
||
## Architecture
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
plugin/
|
||
metadata.json # KPackage/KPlugin descriptor for Plasma 6
|
||
contents/ui/
|
||
main.qml # Plasma WallpaperItem — hosts everything
|
||
dancer.html # Self-contained animation (HTML + CSS + JS)
|
||
starcatalog.js # Generated star data (Yale BSC) — see tools/build_catalog.py
|
||
constellations.js # Generated zodiac lines — see tools/build_constellations.py
|
||
milkyway.jpg # Gaia all-sky photo, plate carrée — see tools/build_skymap.py
|
||
astronomy.browser.min.js # Astronomy Engine (MIT) — Moon/planet ephemerides
|
||
tools/
|
||
build_catalog.py # Regenerates starcatalog.js from the Yale Bright Star Catalog
|
||
build_constellations.py # Regenerates constellations.js (Stellarium Modern + d3-celestial)
|
||
build_skymap.py # Reprojects ESA Gaia all-sky map (Hammer → plate carrée)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### main.qml — the Plasma host
|
||
|
||
- Declares a `WallpaperItem` with a full-screen `WebEngineView` pointed at `dancer.html`.
|
||
- A `Plasma5Support.DataSource` with `engine: "executable"` runs `playerctl metadata` every 2 s and injects the result into the page with `webView.runJavaScript("updateMusic(...)")`.
|
||
- JavaScript is enabled; local file access and local storage are on/off respectively.
|
||
|
||
### dancer.html — the visual layer
|
||
|
||
Pure HTML/CSS/JS, no external dependencies. All visuals are self-contained:
|
||
|
||
| Layer | Technique |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| Realistic sky (stars) | `<canvas>`; real-time alt-az projection of `starcatalog.js` (8,404 Yale BSC stars, V ≤ 6.5) for the configured lat/long (default Toledo-PR). Static layer pre-rendered offscreen with triple-buffer + 1.4 s crossfade between reprojections (every 30 s; 4 s during timelapse/camera rotation); bright stars twinkle per frame. Debug: `window.__skyTimeOffset` (ms) fast-forwards the sky |
|
||
| Milky Way | Per-pixel sampling of `milkyway.jpg` (Gaia photo, full res): `buildMwGrid` caches viewport unit vectors + extinction/glare, `renderMilkyWay` applies only the sidereal rotation (camera azimuth folded into the equatorial→galactic matrix) and stylized "development" (deep blacks, saturation, cool shadows). Decoded texture stays resident (~75 MB) |
|
||
| Moon & planets | Astronomy Engine topocentric ephemerides: Moon with real phase texture + bright-limb angle, 7 planets with magnitude-scaled dots (labels only in constellation mode) |
|
||
| Zodiac constellations | Stellarium Modern lines (traces only, no artwork); toggled via `/tmp` file or `C` key |
|
||
| Nebula blobs, grid floor, horizon | CSS animations |
|
||
| DANCEBOT-9000 robot | Pure CSS (divs + `@keyframes`) |
|
||
| Chest EQ bars & VU meter | JS-driven `requestAnimationFrame` |
|
||
| Music ticker / album art / karaoke lyrics | DOM text set by `updateMusic(artist, title)` (called from QML); lyrics left, album art right, ticker centered — all with dark veils/shadows for contrast over the Milky Way |
|
||
| Dance style cycling | `data-dance` attribute on `<body>`, toggled by JS every 8 s |
|
||
|
||
**Runtime controls** (state files in `/tmp/skeledance-*`, polled every 800 ms by dancer.html; each has a root-level helper script): `toggle-balada.sh`, `toggle-chuva.sh` (mutually exclusive modes), `toggle-constellations.sh`, `preview-constellation.sh <Vir|off>`, `set-camera-position.sh <norte|leste|sul|oeste|graus>`, `toggle-camera-rotation.sh` (360° pan in 5 min), `toggle-sky-timelapse.sh` (360× time). `test-modes.sh` reloads the plugin and cycles modes.
|
||
|
||
**Tempo anchor**: everything is keyed to 120 BPM (`BEAT_MS = 500 ms`). CSS animation durations for the robot parts use multiples/fractions of 0.5 s, 1 s, or 2 s.
|
||
|
||
**Dance styles** (cycle order): `bounce → wave → shuffle → moonwalk → spin`. CSS selectors like `[data-dance="spin"] .robot { ... }` override the default animations via `!important`.
