I have Googled for it but there are no ready scripts - as opposed to the same effect on Flash. I have checked the algorithm on The Water Effect Explained and also tested an implementation of the Perlin Noise, which provides a good simulation of the end of waves on a flat surface. I am looking for the same implementation found on several Flash Effects, based on mouseover/hover actions. This is targetting an interactive floor library, and I would enjoy moving away from Flash for this matter, particularly to avoid such easy reverse-engineering of the code - and yes, I know it could just use some ready-made flash code, but I would only use that as a last resort.
In time: Flash effect sample: flash-effects.com/tutorial-create-a-water-ripple-mouse-follow and a valid similar Java effect: Water Simulation using Java applet.
Has anyone seen a suitable implementation of this effect for Pygame (using OpenGL or not)?
The culprit here is the (code) interface to pass a list of values that will be sent from an external interpreter (tracker - not TUIO though) via Python. I have tried for some straight days but Pygame is not able to generate anything as fast as sheer C/C++ code (as used for the shaders in OpenGL), and my knowledge of C/C++ is null. So the target is to at least have that coming from Python code.
