Cursed Salon Toggle - A haunted light switch with ghost animation.

Built a custom Rive Component with Lua. Light mode shows a soft pink salon, Dark mode turns it into a cursed night with a floating ghost. The ghost uses sine-wave floating + smooth easing for the toggle slide.

Tech: init, update, draw, onToggle with ghostX/ghostY physics. 100% interactive and lightweight (10.5kb).

Inspired by Halloween cursed salon vibe.

Thanks Jonathan! Appreciate it! Was experimenting with custom Rive component for haunted interaction — light mode vs cursed mode.

Night Shift — The Haunted Control Room

A fictional haunted control panel inspired by engineering work: flip a breaker, tune a dial to 92 Hz and drag a signal plug into its socket. Each repair restores the room and changes the ghost’s expression; Replay Shift starts a new night.

Built with the Rive CLI, original vector RML, Luau scripting, data binding and native state machines. GPU Canvas runs a WGSL shader for fog, signal distortion and ghost aura trails. The 50-second video includes real CLI-rendered interactions, RML and build evidence.

This is new AI-assisted work created for the challenge. I selected the engineering-inspired concept and delegated the visual direction and production to my assistant. Artwork, code and walkthrough are AI-assisted; no manual human Rive Editor refinements are claimed. The required publication watermark is retained.

Meet Count Echula. A vampire turned into a bat who can only see the street by echolocation, and his sonar only fires when he catches candy on the beat. I built this Halloween rhythm runner with the Rive CLI and a coding agent, with a 3D street and sonar shaders on GPU Canvas. Three songs to try!
