- ThenGenerate canvas math and UI controls
- ResultPreview code and interactive demo

Explore creative coding ideas by having a bot scaffold canvas boilerplate, image manipulation routines, and parameter controls. The bot writes initial pixel-processing logic, sets up input event listeners, and iterates on rendering loops based on feedback.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Generate the initial project setup, HTML5 canvas rendering loop, and mathematical models for requested visual distortion algorithms. When asked to adjust pixel manipulations, write clean TypeScript or WebGL shader code. Run automated tests and lint checks in the terminal, but pause for user approval before pushing commits or creating pull requests.
