I believe that Bryce Nesbit wrote a Badge0 entry called WaveBench that
did exactly this. You can probably find this on a fish disk, if not
there is a file on kilowatt "badge0 wavebench.shar" that you might
want to check out.

If this is the program I am thinking of, you will be amazed at what
the Amiga allows you to do with the copper. Byrce set up a asm/copper
program that created a wave action on the workbench screen. The hard
part about the demo was trying to hit the close gadget on the moving
screen!

Source is not included in the kilowatt shar, so you might want to find
the fish disk.
