Where might one find tutorials about programming trippy demoscene style effects for dynamic backgrounds in a 2D puzzle/arcade game? For example, tunnels, plasmas, fire, image distortion, etc. Cheers.

Indeed, somehow I didn't expect Wikipedia to cover the subject so thoroughly. The effects article appears to be a very good place to start. Thanks.
