Indeed. Although I'd actually prefer the waves to *not* reflect off the 
edges of the framebuffer... but I can't see a way to achieve that.

Ooo, GPU? That's gotta be pretty fast...

(My own implementation seems to spend far more time converting the 
floating-point numbers into integers for display than it does actually 
doing the integration... like, WTF?)

Have you tried playing with the reaction/diffusion equations? That's 
also pretty fun... and yes, you have to see it in motion to truly 
appreciate it. ;-)
