est. 1972
This screen saver was originally developed as a windowed application in the Processing environment, and is a rather extensive expansion of the Poly Pattern III programming exercise written by Ira Greenberg in his book:
Processing
Creative Coding and Computational Art
For more information on the Processing environment,
go to http://processing.org/
The configuration window contains quite a few options for setting parameters on the randomizations; it is also possible, through special keypresses while the screensaver is running, to save a particular configuration for later selection from a list of saved configurations, as well as saving a snapshot of the screen to a user-configurable location.
Spirogyra Screen Saver
(Freeware for OS X and Windows)
The Spirogyra project is currently being developed in Cocoa for
Mac OS X, and in C#.Net for Windows.
Note: the Spirogyra Screensaver is named after the algae (see image at left,) which will hopefully not object to my use of the name. Or the image.
Versions: Mac OS X Windows .Net Windows OpenGl
After spending one and a half years in development and debugging, I’m not sure I would attempt such a project again, however, it has been an interesting obsession while it lasted ...
