Wave Distortion Demo

A Compose Multiplatform application demonstrating a wave distortion effect using a RuntimeShader (AGSL/SKSL).

This project showcases complex visual effects in Compose Multiplatform that work across Android, iOS, Desktop (JVM), and Web (Wasm).

Features

• Interactive Ripple Effect: Tap anywhere on the image to trigger a wave distortion ripple.
• Real-time Customization: Adjust shader parameters dynamically using the control panel:
  • Amplitude: Controls the strength of the distortion.
  • Angular Frequency: Adjusts the frequency of the waves.
  • Decay Rate: Determines how quickly the ripple fades out.
  • Wave Speed: Controls the speed of the wave propagation.
  • Tint Ratio: Adds a chromatic aberration effect based on the distortion strength.
• Auto Waves: Toggle automatic random wave generation to see the effect in action without interaction.
