Pads

Which scene sits on which pad, across both layers. Drag one pad onto another to swap them, or pick a scene from the list. An empty pad is allowed: eighteen places hold seventeen scenes.

LAYER A

LAYER B

Every scene is on a pad.

Palettes

The gradient below is the real one: the same 256 texels the scene gets, mixed in Oklab. Two rules hold for every palette, and they are checked while you drag.
