Moving this to the scripts section.

Edit: Haha, I like it! But I get a bit of lag using it. I was trying it out on the title sprite with wave_amp and wave_length set to 320. :P Still, this is pretty cool. :)

Sorry, I was distracted when I posted the script.

Thanks!
The lag is a really problem, but I don't know how to decrease it and keep the normal operation.
I am free for sugestions ^^

Bye

only use radians instead of degrees. If you want the user to be able to use degrees, write a setter and a getter that converts it.

Im not sure how optimized the cos() and sin() functions are in ruby. It might be faster if you calc the values of the cos() and sin() when the game starts, and cache it into a table, so that you don't have to calc it every frame update.

Nice! and doesn't lag very much for me, just a little bit.
