Maybe reuse the save image feature, and save a json file with the parameters. Maybe add an option to iterate through all saved scenes.

-# 🎨 Deformed Grid - Epic Improvements Roadmap
-
-## 🎵 **Audio-Reactive Features** - Not working that well
-- **Real-time audio analysis** using FFT and pyaudio
-- **Frequency separation**: Bass, mids, highs control different visual aspects
-- **Beat detection** with synchronized flash effects
-- **Audio → Visual mapping**:
-  - 🥁 Bass (20-250Hz) → Distortion intensity
-  - 🎸 Mids (250Hz-4kHz) → Color hue rotation
-  - ✨ Highs (4kHz+) → Brightness boosts
-  - 💥 Beat detection → White flash effects
-  - 📢 Volume → Animation speed
-- **Interactive controls**: Press 'M' to toggle audio reactivity
-
