Attract Hacking¶

The hacking mode turns the display into a dramatic cyberpunk intrusion sequence: faux terminal output, neon overlays, scanlines, animated log streams, and glowing status bars that feel like a Hollywood actor pretending to be a black-hat wizard.

Options¶

Key	Type	Description	Default	Allowed Values
`speed`	float	Animation pacing multiplier controlling overall tempo of terminal output and visual effects	1.0	any valid float (0.1–10.0 recommended)
`density`	float	Overall clutter and log density controlling how many visual elements appear simultaneously on screen	0.7	any valid float (0.1–1.0)
`glitch`	float	Amount of visual glitching and offset jitter applied to text and overlay elements	0.5	any valid float (0.0–1.0)
`intensity`	float	Glow and neon intensity level controlling brightness of luminous overlay and status elements	0.8	any valid float (0.0–1.0)
`pulse`	float	Scanline and pulse cadence controlling the rhythmic sweep and flicker frequency of effects	0.7	any valid float (0.1–1.5)

Policy Fields¶

Field	Type	Range	Default	Description
Speed	float64	[0.1, 3.0]	1.0	Animation pacing multiplier
Density	float64	[0.1, 1.0]	0.7	Terminal clutter and log density
Glitch	float64	[0.0, 1.0]	0.5	Visual glitching and offset jitter
Intensity	float64	[0.1, 1.0]	0.8	Neon glow intensity
Pulse	float64	[0.1, 1.5]	0.7	Scanline and pulse cadence

CLI Examples¶

Query the current mode settings:

cyberhudctl display policy attract_hacking

Increase the cinematic glitch and glow:

cyberhudctl display config 0 glitch=0.8 intensity=1.0 speed=1.5

Panel Compatibility¶

Color TFT — full neon cyan/magenta HUD with scanlines and terminal logs.
Monochrome OLED — bright white terminal text and a more minimal glowing frame.
E-Ink — static, low-ink decorative terminal panel with the same cyberpunk composition frozen in place.

E-Ink Behavior¶

On e-ink panels the sequence resolves to a static composite that keeps the terminal aesthetic without animating the stream. This avoids refresh artifacts while retaining the dramatic intrusion HUD look.
