🎛️ Secret Menu: The 3 Hidden Sliders

Press Ctrl + Shift + J (Jestur's initials) to open the Debug Ripple Forge. Here you'll find: Ripples -v0.7.0- -Jestur-

1. "Slip" (0.0 to 1.0)

   • Determines how much a late hit bends future beats forward.
   • Sweet spot: 0.27 – creates a "rubber band" rhythm without breaking sync.

2. "Phantom Weight"

   • Adds ghost ripples that fade in/out based on your combo.
   • Fun trick: Set to 0.62 and intentionally break combo every 8 beats → produces a polyrhythm ghost track.

3. "Jestur's Grin" (binary: on/off)

   • When ON, the visualizer inverts colors on every 3rd perfect hit.
   • When OFF, it slowly burns in afterimages. Leave it ON for visibility, OFF for style.

14. Examples

• Cascading UI example (see API snippet).
• Monitoring: set initial magnitude = severity score, ttl = max hops, decay exponential 0.7.

7. Plugins & handlers

Plugins implement hooks:

• onReceive(node, ripple, context) — before node state update.
• onApply(node, ripple, context) — when ripple alters node state.
• onPropagate(node, ripple, neighbor, context) — before enqueueing to neighbor.
• onFinish(node, ripple, context) — after processing completes.

Plugins can cancel propagation, adjust priority/magnitude, generate side-effect ripples, or persist metrics. Think of this not as a manual, but
