The Screen Savers

PlasmaLenz


PlasmaLenz generates a plasma fractal using the diamond-square algorithm with an indexed palette.  After generating the fractal, the palette is rotated, which gives the image the illusion of fluid motion.  This screen saver also provides an optional lensing effect.  Click here to view screen shots.



AcidRain


AcidRain creates a torrent of multicolored rain that pours from the top of your screen as the wind whips it back and forth.  Rain coloring is completely user configurable, as are speed and amount of rain on the screen.  Click here to view screen shots.



Crawlies


Crawlies is kind of a combination of a remake of Wiggly Worms available with Solaris and Nibbles, in which multicolored worms creep their way across your screen.  The crawlies coloring is completely user configurable, as are speed and number of worms on the screen.  Click here to view screen shots.



Randomizer


Randomizer isn't so much an actual screen saver as it is a utility that will randomly pick a screen saver from a list of desired screen savers every time the system runs a screen saver.  It also has the ability to change the screen savers after a set period of time.  This  utility is only available on Windows systems, because X-Screensaver is available on the *NIX based systems, which is what all of these screen savers require to run on the *NIX based systems, anyway.  Click here to view screen shots.
