+# Wayland Shader Demo
+
+A lightweight, interactive shader playground built with **C++**, **Wayland**, and **OpenGL ES 2.0**.
+
+![Demo Screenshot](Pasted%20image.png)
+
+## Features
+
+### 🌌 Interactive Fractals
+*   **Deep Zoom Mandelbrot**: Features an **Infinite Zoom** engine using Perturbation Theory (CPU computes 128-bit reference orbit, GPU renders delta). Zoom level up to $10^{34}$!
+*   **Customizable**: Use the sidebar sliders to adjust the **Exponent** (create "Multibrots") and morph the set with **Julia** offsets ($C_{real}$, $C_{imag}$).
+*   **Fractal Explorer**: Standard fractal shaders included.
+
+### 🧪 Physics & Simulations
+*   **Fluid Dynamics**: Real-time interactive fluid simulation (mouse drag to swirl).
+*   **Reaction Diffusion**: "Living" texture simulation (Gray-Scott model).
+*   **Double Pendulum**: Chaotic physics visualization.
+
+### 🎨 Visuals
+*   **Plasma & Tunnel**: Classic demoscene effects.
+*   **Sidebar UI**: Custom immediate-mode GUI with embedded font rendering.
+
+## Controls
+*   **Left Click**: Select shader from sidebar.
+*   **Scroll**: Zoom (Mandelbrot).
+*   **Drag (Left Click)**: Pan view / Interact with Fluid / Adjust Sliders.
+
+## Build & Run
+```bash
+make
+./shader-demo
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+*   Wayland Client & EGL
+*   GLESv2
+*   libxkbcommon
