Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but a ripple could be faked by zooming/enlarging the pixels in certain areas/shapes.
Specifically, you would enlarge the pixels in the thick outline of a cirle. Then another circle, and another and another etc. working their way in/out getting smaller/bigger.
That should look like a ripple

Ripples actually look that way because of the wave form they have in z-perspective. If your looking for this approach, you won't see anything if z perspective isn't involved, therefore you have to use 3d perspective, and furthermore isometric, otherways you will get wrong outcome dimensions for a bitmap. Leting Z axis go with a component in Y and X would look realistic. Now picking the Z component should be done with sin() for a wave form depending on the distance to the center. So Z component would be
sin(frequency*sqr(dx*dx+dy*dy))
where frequency is the wave frequency in radians per pixel. dx and dy are distance to center in resp. components.

To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.
