This component no longer exists. It was in ns-ui’s manifest when we first indexed it and is not there now — the registry served its inventory on 2026-08-07 and this item was not on it. The install command below will fail. It is kept here because a tutorial somewhere still tells people to run it.
Background ASCII Plasma
ns-ui/background-ascii-plasmaRemovedComponent
A full-bleed animated ASCII plasma field — three octaves of traveling value noise mapped through a density ramp to a monospace glyph grid, with the pointer warping the field outward and letting it relax back like dragging a finger through liquid.
