Ripple Tank

Backgrounds 2

About

An interactive WebGL water background driven by a real 2D wave equation, where moving the pointer leaves a wake, clicking drops a stone, and idle raindrops ripple across a lit, tiled floor.

Built with React and Tailwind. Copy the prompt and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or Lovable: your agent adds Ripple Tank to your project and fits it to your theme.

Code

How Ripple Tank is used: the demo's code. The component's own source comes with a free account.

Usage.tsx

"use client";

import { RippleTank } from "@/components/ui/ripple-tank";

const THEMES: Record<
  string,
  { c: [string, string, string, string]; light: boolean }

  ink: { c: ["#05070b", "#0f1724", "#2a3a52", "#cfe0ff"], light: false },
  pool: { c: ["#06363d", "#0e6b72", "#7fd1c4", "#f2fffb"], light: false },
  paper: { c: ["#e8e2d6", "#f6f2ea", "#c9bfae", "#ffffff"], light: true },
};

export default function Demo({ variant = "ink" }: { variant?: string }) {
  const t = THEMES[variant] ?? THEMES.ink;
  return (
