𝙈𝑒𝚝𝒂𝔹𝔩𝚘𝙗𝓈—the glitch in the fabric of reality where physics, aesthetics, and existential dread collide. Are they sentient? Are they simply art? Are they plotting to overthrow the laws of geometry itself? No one knows. But one thing is certain—MetaBlobs refuse to conform, shimmering between dimensions with a defiant wobble, daring the universe to make sense of them.

All bullshit aside, this is one I’ve been working on for several weeks and, despite initially looking very unpromising, I am quite pleased with the result!
The concept of metaballs always seemed cool to me and apparently is basically beyond what the hardware in the Eyesy is capable of… or is it!?
With the assistance of ChatGPT (who wants me to tell you it thinks we should name this mode ‘LFOam’ because… reasons) we were able to do all the rendering on a virtual lower resolution surface and then scale that up for output at screen resolution. It runs best at lower settings for # of blobs and resolution. Fine tuning can get an effect not unlike that of an audio-reactive lava lamp in ten different custom gradient color schemes!
🧪
🟠 Knob 1 = Controls the maximum number of blobs on screen (more = denser visuals)
🔵 Knob 2 = Sets the size (radius) of each blob
🟢 Knob 3 = Blob threshold controls the goopiness (full right = goop, full left = sharp)
🟡 Knob 4 = Selects the metaball field resolution (low values are faster than high values)
🟣 Knob 5 = selects from color scheme from 10 radioactive candy colors
🧪
UPDATE! V1.1 adds adaptable screen resolution and metablob movement!
