• Geometric Transformations: Faithful recreation of Bit's three states
  • Neutral: Blue/cyan compound polyhedron (dodecahedron + icosahedron)
  • YES: Yellow/orange octahedron with upward transformation
  • NO: Red stellated icosahedron with aggressive animation
• Original Movie Sounds: Crystal-clear audio extracted from TRON (1982)
• TRON Aesthetics: Grid background, neon glow effects, and authentic color palette

• Click Bit: Random Yes/No response

├── bit-yes.mp3               # YES sound (crystal clear)

The audio files have been professionally processed for optimal quality:

• Frequency Filtering: High-pass (500Hz) and low-pass (4kHz) for clarity
• Noise Reduction: Removed background distortion and artifacts
• Loudness Normalization: Balanced volume levels
• Precision Timing: Trimmed for perfect response timing
• High Bitrate: 320kbps MP3 for maximum quality

Bit faithfully recreates the movie character's behavior:

• Binary Communication: Only says "YES!" and "NO!"
• Emotional Expression: Conveys excitement through repetition
• Geometric Language: Shape changes communicate meaning

• Calm: Gentle floating and rotation in neutral form
• Excited: Rapid transformations with "YES YES YES YES!"
• Alarmed: Sharp red spikes with "NO NO NO NO!"

• HTML5: Semantic structure and audio elements
• CSS3: Advanced animations, transforms, and visual effects
• Vanilla JavaScript: Interactive controls and audio management
• Web Audio API: Sound generation fallbacks

• Hardware Acceleration: CSS3 transforms using GPU
• Optimized Audio: Preloaded with fallback systems
• Responsive Design: Scales across devices
• Particle Optimization: Efficient DOM manipulation

• Primary: #00FFFF (Cyan Grid)
• YES State: #FFFF00 (Yellow Energy)
• NO State: #FF0000 (Red Alert)
• Background: Radial gradient from #001133 to #000011

• Transform Timing: cubic-bezier(0.68, -0.55, 0.265, 1.55) for bounce
• Particle Physics: Randomized trajectories with fade-out
• Grid Pulse: Breathing effect on background grid

Bit is a sentient program from the digital Grid, serving as a binary companion to other programs. Despite only being able to communicate "Yes" and "No," Bit displays remarkable emotional range and intelligence, becoming one of the most memorable characters in TRON through innovative computer graphics and expressive animation.
