Predator cloak effect (PC / GLSL)

I wanted the intensity of the effect to scale with object movement speed, but I found that keeping track of enough samples to do it smoothly and/or interpolating them was a struggle to do right. Could try again later.

Below is 0% opacity, the displacement factor can be tweaked and is multiplied by a normal map

Interesting thing, Super Stardust did something like this too for one of it's bosses, which is how I know this is possible to do with just AGA, no need for modern GL like what I'm doing here.

I think - just a blind guess - that it was done by reserving slots in the palette just for that opponent and then copying colors from the pre-rendered background, but I haven't taken a good look in a debugger to know for sure.
