Yes! The ripples return! What's different this time round is that I'm using a tiled plain created using a memblock, and with slightly curved normals. This allows me to apply sphere mapping with a constantly changing coloured texture to make the ripples look even cooler than before! Memblock meshes need a lot of setting up and manipulating, so I'm amazed I managed to stuff the whole lot into 20 lines exactly, it was originally about 250 lines. Btw I'm still keeping to the '5 commands per line' rule because I like a challenge
. Watch the code get completely messed up because of my comparison operators. You can download a .zip file containing the exe here:

Oh, there aren't any lights this time round because the effect looks cool enough on its own, and there wasn't any space to add more commands.
Your comments please!
EDIT: this won't work in dbc, because of the long lines
