NVIL // Lab

Experiments, in public.

The Lab is where NVIL tests ideas before they end up in client work. Every experiment here is hand-coded, runs in the browser, and is numbered so you can watch the list grow. No sign-up, no gate. Open one and play with it.

  1. EXP-001

    Arcade

    Five browser games written from a blank file: no engines, no libraries, no embeds. Connect 4 against our bot, Tic-Tac-Toe, Blackjack, Snake and NVIL Run, a tunnel runner with hand-rolled 3D.

    Shift

    One fictional business, six complete design systems, switched live. Watch typography, spacing, grid, geometry and motion change what the same words feel like, then customize a system or compare two side by side.

EXP-007 The next experiment takes the next number. Ideas we are testing in client work show up here once they can stand on their own.
