Typography

    Particle Typography

    Headline rendered as thousands of cursor-reactive particles. Multi-line, per-word colour, fits itself to its box, waits for webfonts, keeps a real heading in the DOM.

    ## Integrate the <ParticleTypography /> component from 3dopenwebsite.com
    
    You are helping integrate a React component from the 3dopenwebsite.com component library into an existing application. Work directly in this repository: create the files below at the given paths, install the dependencies, then wire the usage example into the page I name. Run the type-checker before you finish.
    
    ### Component: Particle Typography
    ### Variant: TypeScript + Tailwind CSS (React 18)
    ### Dependencies: none beyond React
    ### Files: src/components/ui/cursor-driven-particle-typography.tsx
    
    Headline rendered as thousands of cursor-reactive particles. Multi-line, per-word colour, fits itself to its box, waits for webfonts, keeps a real heading in the DOM.
    
    ---
    
    ### Usage Example
    ```tsx
    <CursorDrivenParticleTypography
      segments={[
        { text: "Next Level", color: "hsl(16 100% 50%)" },
        { text: "of ", color: "hsl(16 100% 50%)" },
        { text: "Intelligence.", color: "#f0efed" },
      ]}
      fontSize={96}
      particleDensity={3}
      align="left"
    />
    ```
    
    ### Props
    - `text`
    - `segments`
    - `fontSize`
    - `particleDensity`
    - `particleSize`
    - `bleed`
    - `align`
    
    ### Design tokens
    The component uses the 3dopenwebsite.com design tokens (`text-fire`, `bg-fire`, `bg-glass-bg`, `border-glass-border`, `text-foreground`, `text-muted-foreground`). Either map those classes to your own theme, or add the tokens:
    ```css
    :root {
      --background: 0 0% 0%;
      --foreground: 0 0% 100%;
      --muted-foreground: 0 0% 60%;
      --radius: 1rem;
      --glass-bg: 0 0% 100% / 0.05;
      --glass-border: 0 0% 100% / 0.1;
      --glass-shadow: 0 8px 32px 0 rgba(31, 38, 135, 0.37);
      --fire-orange: 16 100% 50%;
      --fire-orange-light: 25 100% 60%;
      --fire-orange-gradient: linear-gradient(135deg, hsl(16 100% 50%), hsl(25 100% 60%));
    }
    ```
    ```ts
    // tailwind.config — theme.extend
    colors: {
      background: "hsl(var(--background))",
      foreground: "hsl(var(--foreground))",
      "muted-foreground": "hsl(var(--muted-foreground))",
      fire: { DEFAULT: "hsl(var(--fire-orange))", light: "hsl(var(--fire-orange-light))" },
      glass: { bg: "hsl(var(--glass-bg))", border: "hsl(var(--glass-border))" },
    },
    borderRadius: { glass: "20px" },
    boxShadow: { glass: "var(--glass-shadow)" },
    ```
    
    The `cn` helper (`@/lib/utils`) is clsx + tailwind-merge:
    ```ts
    import { clsx, type ClassValue } from "clsx"
    import { twMerge } from "tailwind-merge"
    
    export function cn(...inputs: ClassValue[]) {
      return twMerge(clsx(inputs))
    }
    
    /** True in headless / driven browsers (prerender, tests): decorative canvases are skipped there. */
    export const isAutomated = () => typeof navigator !== "undefined" && !!navigator.webdriver;
    ```
    
    ### Integration Instructions
    1. Install the listed dependencies.
    2. Create each file below at its path. Keep the `@/` alias pointing at `src/`, or rewrite the imports to your project's alias.
    3. Add `src/lib/utils.ts` if the project has no `cn` helper.
    4. Add the design tokens above (or remap the classes to your theme).
    5. Import and render the component using the usage example; adjust props to fit.
