Scrolling stripes with a dark vignette

A picture built in steps: scroll, then draw stripes, then color it, then finish with a dark vignette. Every step is listed below with its exact numbers.

The target picture for the shader challenge "Scrolling stripes with a dark vignette" — Recreate this picture. You pass at a 99% match, then try to write it in fewer characters than the par.

How this challenge works

You write a fragment shader that draws the picture above, live in your browser. A match bar shows how close you are, and the score combines accuracy, code size (the par is 349 characters in Unity (Built-in)) and GPU speed. Work in HLSL, GLSL, WGSL, Metal or Godot and export the result when you are done.

The numbers you need

Space: p = (uv - 0.5) * float2(aspect, 1.0)
Step 1: Scroll: p.y += time * 0.15
Step 2: Pattern: m = step(0.4, frac(dot(p, float2(1.0, 1.0)) * 8.0))
Step 3: Colors: lerp(float3(0.11, 0.79, 0.84), float3(0.84, 0.11, 0.17), m)
Step 4: Finish: col *= 1.0 - 0.75 * smoothstep(0.25, 0.95, length(s)), s = (uv - 0.5) * float2(aspect, 1.0)
