Features
The Bonk'd Audio Visualizer is a 3D audio visualizer written in C/C++ with Vulkan, designed for Linux first, Windows second. It is designed to be lightweight, fast, and low latency. Future planned features include:-Desktop background rendering
-Customizable colors (can be customized with command line options right now)
-Customizable speed (can be customized with command line options right now)
-Customizable wave heights/sample rate/sample size (also customizable via command line options right now)
Stretch goals depending on reception:
-VR
-Control of viewport
-Gamification of some sort
Usage
Simply start Bonk'd Audio Visualizer and start playing your favorite music and enjoy! Fruther configuration can be changed with launch options, explained in the Manual.txt included with game files, soon to be available through a configuration file, and then potentially a UI to change things live. Hit escape to close the program.Notes
If you're running on Linux by default the application uses PipeWire, an option to use straight ALSA is available with -alsa in the launch options, it presently connects to the mic instead of the default output device, a fix is in the works. Testing was completed on Fedora 36, but any linux with Pipewire and proper Vulkan drivers should work with the default settings just fine.Many features are available through launch parameters, customization of the rendering, swapping starting monitors, switching audio interface, and forcing usage of integrated or dedicated GPUs are just a few of the available options through launch parameters. These features are being moved into a config file, and then later into a GUI application, but have been provided as launch options to give access to them as early as possible.
For convenience, the launch parameters are listed below, and are included in the Manual.txt in the software installation.
Available options:
Option syntax >>>> description
-wh (integer) >>>>> set wave height, default is 25
-a (real number) >>>>> set alpha (transparency) default 0.25
-mt (integer) >>>> set move time default 6
-alsa >>>>> use ALSA instead of PipeWire (linux only)
-window >>>>> run windowed instead of fullscreen
-fi >>>>> force use of integrated GPU*
-fd >>>>> force use of dedicated GPU*
-debug >>>>>> print debug output to bav_log.log
-display >>>>> set which display to render to (fullscreen only)
*Steam appears to "hide" GPUs from Vulkan when multiple GPUs are present on a machine. You can run the program from command line/terminal with the force parameters and they will function as expected, but through Steam you may run into trouble with them. There may be ways to circumvent this with environment variables or how you run steam, but I've not found a surefire way to do so, ymmv.

Really funky and funny, sometimes it's just pleasing to have this run in the background for a bit when you have little of anything to do. Would be amazing if it could also double as a wallpaper.
its nice and smooth i like to run it in the background of calls or music i hear sorta looks soothing great work
Its been almost 20 hours of concurrent playing of this visualizer.
The Visualizer has a live desktop audio reaction. Meaning you can watch it as you play music from your computer, or YouTube, or spotify, etc.
in my opinion, its worth it. Some screenshots ive posted involve shader use which makes it look outstanding aswell.
manual could explain a bit more but other than that is pretty cool
This is one of those things you never knew you needed or would enjoy. It really captivates you and is a great choice to fill an empty monitor. Just having it in the background it can serve you well as an oddly pleasing, mindless distraction: one where it'll fill the void and actually help you focus and relax, yet still let you think clearly and appreciate some music.
I find it the perfect balance and solution for dealing with ADHD or general procrastination, as it keeps me stimulated while letting me stay engaged in anything and not getting consumed elsewhere and get off track. It is just a very satisfying addition to my environment and I'm glad it's creating some memorable moments when I want to just get lost in some music, whether that's deep in thought or as the ultimate escape when trying to zone out.
It's well worth the boost in productivity and as a surprising game-changer for listening entertainment. You have to just try it out now and see for yourself what this has to offer because it's truly one of those hidden gems that will change the way you listen experience audio forever. The magical amusement this creates will keep you wondering how it is so special and wishing you could have tried it sooner. I look forward to seeing how it develops and improves even further.
TLDR:[b] Oddly satisfying hidden gem; Runs flawlessly and a solid, unbroken product with promising development; No microtransactions or DLC; [b]Essential purchase / MUST BUY
