Android live wallpaper visualizing local wind patterns, inspired by the Pixel 2017 live wallpaper.
* Correct rendering on newer devices (the original shaders don't work at all).
* Updated wind data (the official data was last updated in 2019).
* Lower memory and CPU usage.
* Optionally render static frames to effectively eliminate all resource usage.
* More color schemes.
* Better location handling.
* Modern render pipeline using WebGPU.
* Create custom themes.
* Generate themes for arbitrary colors.
* All code is written from scratch.
* Other fixes.
The wind texture is generated from the NOAA GFS 0.25° ANL dataset (updated every 6 hours) using the wind vector values (UGRD, VGRD) at 850 mb elevation.
