Waves: Ripple Pond

Waves is a pond you can poke. Touch the water and a ripple spreads out, bounces off the shore and fades away. Tap with several fingers and the waves cross and interfere, just as they do on real water. The ripples are not canned animations. Waves simulates the water itself, every frame, so each splash behaves the way waves really do: they travel, reflect, overlap and die down. POND SHAPES • Open water, from one edge of your screen to the other • Circle, Cross, Clover and Star, with waves reflecting off every corner and curve of the shoreline MAKE WAVES • Tap for a single splash, or drag a finger to leave a wake • Use several fingers at once • A bigger, firmer touch makes a bigger splash, on screens that report touch size and pressure • Reset calms the water in one tap TUNE THE WATER Start from a preset: • Calm: slow ripples that soon settle • Ripple tank: the balanced default • Storm: fast waves that keep on going • Mirror pool: a hard shoreline that throws every wave back Then adjust wave speed, damping, how much the shore absorbs, and the size and depth of each splash, and watch the water change as you drag the slider.
