Plasma effect
Plasma effect is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
The plasma effect is a visual effect created by applying various functions, notably sine and cosine, to the color values of screen pixels. When animated the effect may give the impression of a colorful flowing liquid.
The task: create a plasma effect.
