Please enjoy this very necessary desktop wallpaper.

This is 0.1 and not 1.0 because performance is a major issue: this will run at 60fps if you have no windows open, but will drop to 30fps or possibly lower if anything at all is running on top of it. When that happens, (WARNING) you may get some flickering, especially if some windows overlap desktop icons.

Despite the fact that this is basically just a reskin of the other wave sim I posted - using a different rendering effect to keep it compatible with the default palette - I still think it's kind of neat. Hopefully I'll find ways to get this running more smoothly over time. Or, failing that, maybe just ways to pause it if anything else is open.

To install:

load #wavepaper
save /appdata/system/wallpapers/wavepaper.p64.png

The cart while self-played is really cool and, imo, if you have too much issues trying to resolve the performance problem, it would be an excellent screensaver with a similar behavior than #pico_ripples, with random drops :)

This has to be one of the most satisfying carts to play around with.

Great job here! I'm astonished
