Hyperspace, a Metal shader for SwiftUI
SwiftUI Metal shader

Hyperspace

A jump to lightspeed on a loop: stars stretch into streaks, the screen flashes white, a tunnel opens, then the ship falls back to a drifting starfield. Four tunnels — a churning blue corridor, raked light rays, an arcing ion storm and racing shards.

How it works

Hyperspace is a real [[stitchable]] Metal shader, not a video or an image. It runs as a SwiftUI .colorEffect, so it paints any view you attach it to. You shape it with sliders in a live preview, then export the .metal file and the SwiftUI code that uses it, or the React Native and Web version. No MSL to write.
