Here's one approach to that grid rippling effect they had in Geometry Wars. It utilizes vertices and renders an 80x80 grid which you can play around with. I know this isn't an exact replica of the Geometry Wars background effect (which I think is rendered in 3D), but hopefully it should be nice and easy to use, and hopefully it can be edited to provide an interesting background for shooting games.

This example is ripped from my own Geometry Wars inspired game, Grid Defender 2

This is really cool and simple. 10/10 Oh and I converted it to gm6

Thanks

And thanks for converting it to .gm6, I'll add it to the first post now.

1. I wish it didn't use objects.
2. It shakes too much

Other than that, good enough.

In the vertex object, try increasing movement_friction to .6 or something. The higher it is, the more rigid the grid becomes.
