When you watch MilkDrop, you are watching a series of Presets. Also, there is a Pixel shader guide on this wiki. The guide at .uk is very highly recommended to anyone who wishes to learn more about creating their own presets. Whereas this guide (the one you are currently viewing) gives the bare technical specifications for writing your own presets, the guide at .uk 'starts at the beginning' and walks you through all of the mathematics and subtleties of 'rolling your own', explaining things in great detail. Note that there is another, quite comprehensive, Preset Authoring Guide available on the web at, which is continually updated and expanded through the hard work of a few dedicated preset authors.
