First, thanks for such a detailed and lengthy reply. Much appreciated.
Haha and don't worry, this might seem elegant but I'm very much a fan of the "quick and dirty" type of approach. Like if it feels like a hack, that's as legit as anything really. I see what you mean about the tilt. I kind of wanted a slight jitter to the animation, more than anything, atleast that's the sort of mentality that inspired the initial design. I think jagged edges work well too btw! or, they add a certain quality to the animation that is interesting imo.
I'm excited to give this stuff a solid try, it seems like a cool medium.

Well, a bonus for you. I asked Internet Janitor about this because I was curious. It's his script and my cobbled-together examples.
Here is a two-card deck showing two ways of putting this together.
I'm happy to take this down once you've seen it/saved it if you prefer, but I hope it's of some use to you.
Have fun!

Just to showcase a somewhat different approach, I made a simple contraption that encapsulates the task of storing an image and wiggling it around a bit on screen. Contraptions are a handy way to reuse logic that appears multiple times within a deck:

(You can copy and paste the bit between %%WGT0 and the last } into Decker to try it out!)
The main script of this contraption looks something like this:
