cantilever

“the centuries toll by in grim absolution, cantilevered and dripping with the moss of ages.” a tower that builds itself, one overhanging slab per century, forever — mossing over, cracking, sinking into the fog below while the bell tolls each passing.

What's happening: a plain <canvas> redrawing a procedurally generated stone tower, every ~4 seconds a new slab cantilevers out and a bell (real synthesized partials, no samples) tolls once. Leave the tab open and it keeps building without you — the "lifetime" counter above is saved in this browser and only grows.
