Home Page breveCreatures 2.0
breveCreatures is a screensaver that simulates the evolution of virtual creatures in a physically simulated 3D world. Beginning initially with random creatures, the screensaver uses a genetic algorithm to develop creatures capable of realistic locomotion behaviors. The concept and algorithms implemented in breveCreatures are based on Karl Sims' seminal work, "Evolving Virtual Creatures". Because the screensaver uses an evolutionary algorithm, it may take a long time - hours, or even days - before effective locomotion behaviors can be observed. Each time it is run, the screensaver will save its progress and continue from where it left off.

Home Page DeskToy 1.0
DeskToy is a screen saver for Mac OS X. It renders an animated scene of a common perpetual motion desk toy: a collection of concentric circular pendula linked together. There are lots of ways to configure the view: you can change the number of rings, put the camera in the center, speed up or slow down the frame rate. You can also enable damping to watch the pendula gradually become still in the horrible way of all things in the fullness of time. Do so only at the risk of profound existential despair.

Home Page Electric Sheep 2.6.9
This software owes its name to Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. It realizes the collective dream of sleeping computers from all over the internet. When the screen-saver is activated, the screen goes black and an animated 'sheep' appears. Behind the scenes, the screen-saver contacts a server and joins the parallel computation of new sheep. Every fifteen minutes 24/7 a new sheep is born and distributed to all clients for display. Each sheep is an animated fractal flame. This program is recommended only if you have a high-bandwidth, always-on connection to the internet such as DSL or cable modem. For best results, let it run overnight to collect a whole flock. Laptop users might have to adjust their power settings to accomplish this.

Home Page FireCracker 1.0
Fireworks screensavers have always held a fascination for me, from the earliest versions I saw first on MS-DOS, to the newer ones in Linux. Unfortunately, I've never really been totally happy with any of the others, because I could never control the parameters of the simulators enough to make them look the way I see them. Well, I've been writing particle simulators for a couple of years now, and I thought I'd apply that to my own fireworks screen saver. So here it is! You can control all the parameters of the simulator, including gravity, the mass of the various particles, the air resistance, etc. Just click the "Configure" button in the screen saver prefs.

Home Page  Fluid 2.6.1
Fluid 2.6 brings a few new rendering capabilities to the table. Most exciting is the ability to use video feeds as the reflection for the churning liquid. This means that you can now see yourself and your surroundings in the fluid if you have a video camera (an iSight, for instance). Fluid offers many rendering styles to choose from and they are even better than before. Fluid now has particle rendering, contour outlining, countour filling, and streakline rendering styles to make your Themes unique. Fluid now has liquid that is actually 3-dimensional and shows reflections. Fluid now comes pre-installed with a set of Themes so that you don't have to install them seperately if you don't want to. The "Themes" capabilities are still there and have been improved with preview icons.

Home Page Flurry 1.4
About 2 years ago, I found some OpenGL code on the internet. I spent a weekend playing around with it, and though that it would be cool to have as a screensaver. I released Flurry 1.0 for free, but asked that users send me a postcard from where they live if they liked it alot. Flurry is now version 1.4, and Apple has even included Flurry as the default screensaver in Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar. Their version is not as customisable as the Flurry you can download from here, but both versions include the Altivec code Apple wrote for me (Flurry was used at the WWDC 2002 by Apple's Architecture and Performance Group as a demo for optimisation techniques).

This one draws snowflakes falling down your screen. Simple enough, but the oh-so-clever part is that it uses a semi-physical model (that I pulled out of my ass) for growing each snowflake, meaning every snowflake is unique (as well they should be!) and also that it uses a quite a bit of processing power. But that's the price you pay for individuality!

So what happens is, the screen fills with water and the fish start swimming around. Sounds simple, but it wasn't simple to make. The effect tho, is well worth the effort. It's far more "3D" than any other aquarium screensaver I've seen because the fish swim in all directions, getting closer or further away and all over the place. Watch it and see!

I spent ages trying to make them actually fly like butterflies. Sort of random and fluttery. When I looked at a couple of other butterfly screen savers they all flew in a very basic "flap... flap... flap" fashion which made them look like a wind up aeroplane kinda deal. Still not sure I've got it quite right, but I do think it's cool to watch. And the way they land on both the desktop and the "glass" of your monitor I think looks nice too. I dunno, I just like it!

Wallsaver is a Cocoa application (written in AppleScript) that allows users to run their screen savers as their desktop wallpaper. After hours of (unsuccessful) Googling for a program that would easily do this, I (Nil Thacker) decided to test my skills and write one myself. It took a while, but I think I got it. Key features of Wallsaver: - 1. Wallsaver doesn't have to be running 24/7. You can launch Wallsaver, activate your screen saver, and then quit the program. Restoring your desktop is just as easy. Open up Wallsaver, click "Restore", and you're set. - 2. It's simple. The original application was only 30 lines of code. - 3. It's cool. Now you can show off the full potential of your Mac by letting it power through a task that would bring a PC to its knees. - 4. It's Universal. Universal Binary, that is.
