In the last few hours of march (the first few hours of April for me), I am finally satisfied with the lightning sample, so I can release it.

Check out the sample in the Samples section, where I have a short description.

If you're too eager for that, you can download it directly from here, and see the four examples in action.

The controls are:

• Cycle through examples: Gamepad A / Keyboard Space
• Toggle Background: Gamepad B / Keyboard B
• Freeze Animation: Gamepad Y / Keyboard F
• Exit Sample : Gamepad Back / Keyboard Escape

Later, I'll try to write an article about how the effect was implemented, and what each class, struct and member represents. But this will take a while, because I'm very busy with school projects, and some stuff I can't talk about yet.

Enjoy the sample!
