Why a lava lamp?


'Cause aside from I find them cool, I'm into ukagaka/ghosts, shimeji, and other similar programs that can bring life to a desktop.

It's somewhat boring to have an inanimate program on screen and so for a little distraction I tried making a lava lamp which were inspired by the idea of desktop pets. It's not the same as them, but still functions like one in terms of bringing animation to screen (even if a little).

Also I get to explore shaders a bit. I haven't given them much attention but I find them really interesting.

Huge thanks to Dan3008 for the lava lamp shader! I also found 2 papers and other sites that tackles how shaders work and how they approached on making a lava lamp simulation. I dunno when I'll be able to apply them as I'm not really familiar with shaders yet, so only time will tell.

Aside from updating the shader, there's also other changes that need to be made here like the customization of the 'covers'.
