Show off with Really slick screensavers

I know you got a powerful graphics card on your PC. And you want to impress the girl sitting next to you by running some cool screen savers on your PC. (If you are a nerd, you will not be laughing at the previous sentence). And you hate running those boring natural scenes, Aquarium, Licking puppy type of screen savers.

Don't worry. Really slick screen savers is there for your help. All the cool, futuristic screensavers are written in OpenGL and are available for free with source code.

Plenty of thanks should got to the developer of this screen savers for the good work he had done. I am quoting the following from his website. My Favorite is Lattice.

Hyperspace

This is a real number cruncher of a screensaver. Computers are getting much more powerful these days, and my old savers don't bring them to their knees like they used to. This one does. Of course, you can still turn the settings way down if you have a pathetic, old computer.

Helios

Throw together some attraction/repulsion particle effects and some smooth implicit surfaces and this is what you get.

 

Euphoria

This is about as psychedelic as screensavers get. I thought my Plasma saver was at the top of the scale, but this one is even more nauseating. You'd better find one of those air sickness bags before you stare at this one for too long.

Skyrocket

The most full-blown fireworks screensaver ever. It has bright lights, smoke trails, clouds that are illuminated by the explosions, sound effects, and plenty of other eye candy. I hope you have a powerful graphics card. Keyboard commands allow you to launch various types of rockets, pause the movement of the fireworks, and control the camera with the mouse. OpenGL is used for the graphics and OpenAL is used for the sound.

Solar Winds

This is a very mesmerizing particle effects saver. Tweak the settings a little and you'll find that you can achieve an amazing number of different patterns. You can also connect the particles with lines for a very different effect.

Lattice

Fly through an endless world of linked rings. You can choose from several different textures for the rings and alter the complexity of the lattice structure.

 

Flux

This screensaver rocks. If you know anything about strange attractors, you might recognize the patterns created by this saver.

 

Plasma

Probably the second most psychedelic screensaver in existence. Just try to picture all those colors moving around.

 

Field Lines

This is a simulation of the electric field lines between charged particles. Physics never looked so good.

 

Flocks

Here's a 3D variation on a favorite old theme. Try it out with Chromatek's ChromaDepth glasses for a cool 3D effect.

 

Cyclone

This screensaver makes tornadoes on your screen. I wrote it for my storm chasing buddy, but you can have it too. Check out his weather page if you're interested in meteorology and severe weather.
