At present, we have the following fleck effects:

  • Boil - pingpong animation of fleck opacity.
  • Wave - pingpong animation of fleck orientation.
  • Flow - cyclic animation of fleck position along the surface.
  • Throb - pingpong animation of fleck position perpendicular to the surface.
  • Evaporate - cyclic animation of fleck position perpendicular to the surface.

but we don't have:

  • Cyclic animation of fleck orientation - perhaps this could be called "churn".
  • Pingpong animation of fleck position along the surface - perhaps this could be called "slosh".
  • Cyclic animation of fleck opacity - not sure what to call this. I thought this was what Boil did until I looked at the animation closely - cyclic animation of opacity would give a better sense of bubbles bursting at the surface.
  • Cyclic animation of fleck size - not sure what to call this.
  • Pingpong animation of fleck size - not sure what to call this.

Adding these effects would complete the set of animations that we could apply to flecks.

Also, it's questionable whether there's a use case for a fleck property having both cyclic and pingpong animation - perhaps the maximum pingpong and maximum cyclic animation settings for each fleck property could be at opposite ends of a -100% to +100% slider with the default being no animation at 0%.
