# explode-01-burst

<<you>>
In the explode slot (the vertex shader): make the polytope burst. Every few seconds the faces should fly out from the centre and come back together, and faces nearer the top should go first, so it reads as a wave passing down the solid rather than everything at once.

Updated `explode` with a **4.8-second burst cycle**:

- Faces move outward whole, then ease back together.
- Higher faces lead, sending the wave downward.
- A short assembled pause separates bursts.

The captures show both the assembled solid and a burst phase with the top closed while lower faces remain spread apart. Colour is unchanged.

Kotlin compilation and shader reload both succeeded.
