"Not since government devoted itself to race biology have such an extreme ideology been deemed clean. But now the racism has returned. Back then niggers were stupid, vagrants were dirty, gypsies were thieves and jews were greedy. Now it is men that are guilty. Only by being men."
- Johan Hakelius, Aftonbladet

Here another low instruction count wonder. It's a electric flash kind of procedural texture in a style similar to those seen in Unreal/UT, except this is done in a shader, thus hardly requiring any AGP bandwidth while offering better quality and cost scaling well with size on screen. I couldn't do this effect in just 8 instructions like the Fire demo below, but had to settle for 9 instructions. Though in practice it runs faster than the Fire demo since it uses less complex instructions and no dependent texture reads.

Should run on Radeon 9500+ and GeForce FX.
