Literally me

Literally me is part explorable poem, part tiny world-making tool. Its landscape is built from typography, color, and floating forms, while a compact markup-like syntax lets you summon text and translucent lens objects of your own.

What is Literally me?

Words are scenery here, but they are also building material. The project invites you to roam a sparse typographic space and then answer it by making objects: choose foreground and background colors for text, or give a lens an RGBA tint and transparency. The syntax is fussy enough to feel like a miniature spell, including the need to account for spaces, yet concrete enough that the project page provides examples you can adapt. It lands somewhere between a 3D poem, a visual toy, and a very small creative coding playground.

What you can do there

• Explore a world built from typography
• Type parameters to summon custom text and lens objects

Why we picked it

The clever bit is not simply that letters become landscape; it is that the visitor can add to that landscape without leaving the world. Typing a color recipe and watching it become an object turns formatting into a form of sculpture, with just enough friction to make each addition feel deliberate.

How to get the most from it

Keep the project page's syntax examples nearby. Begin with a short text object, change one RGB value at a time, and include every intended space. Once that feels predictable, try a lens object and adjust its alpha value to see how transparency changes the scene.

Good to know

You can run it in the browser or download Windows, macOS, and Linux builds on a name-your-own-price basis. The live controls, restore behavior, audio, accessibility options, mobile support, and persistence of created objects are not documented clearly enough to promise.
