I built an Adaptive Attention Engine (AAE) with Rive Scripting
Need of AAE: Most interactive animations treat every user the same, regardless of their intent or level of interest.
what is AAE: Adaptive Attention Engine is the animation doesn’t react to input — it Observes it, Adaptive Attention Engine in Rive that accumulates user behavior over time to infer attention states like Dormant, Observing and Focused.
Behavior explanation:
1) Dormant: User is inactive, system is calm, conserving energy, awaiting intent.
2)Observing: User is Observing, searching or signaling Interest.
3)Focused: User shows Focused Intent, like click and carefully observing or reding text.

Built the classic Snake game entirely inside Rive using scripting and data binding.
This was an experiment pushing Rive beyond animation into interactive systems.
Movement, food spawning, and game state are all driven by Lua while the UI stays synced through a ViewModel.
Still polishing the web export, but the core gameplay is working and it was a fun challenge to build.

Very cool exploration 👏 Pushing Rive into interactive systems opens interesting UX possibilities. The ViewModel sync approach is especially intriguing.
We built this memory game with @Rive specifically for the youngest players🐼
The goal was to design something intuitive, soft, and non-overstimulating. No time pressure, just calm cause and effect.
Each animal reacts gently to success and failure. They follow the mouse and communicate entirely through motion. The scoring system is fully visual, using a growing progress bar instead of points, designed for pre-readers.
The board is randomized using data binding and scripting, creating dynamic card positions while keeping the interaction clear and consistent. A small game, made with care♥️

My @Rive racing game breakdown! 🚗💨
I thought I'd share a short breakdown exploring the systems and ideas behind the project so far!
Very cool breakdown 👌 Always interesting seeing how different people structure interaction systems in Rive.
