"*hacks.qix.documentation: \
This is the swiss army chainsaw of qix programs. It bounces a series \
of line segments around the screen, and uses variations on this basic \
motion pattern to produce all sorts of different presentations: line \
segments, filled polygons, overlapping translucent areas... Written \
by Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.attraction.documentation: \
Like qix, this uses a simple simple motion model to generate many \
different display modes. The control points attract each other up to \
a certain distance, and then begin to repel each other. The \
attraction/repulsion is proportional to the distance between any two \
particles, similar to the strong and weak nuclear forces. \
\\n\\n\
One of the most interesting ways to watch this hack is simply as \
bouncing balls, because their motions and interactions with each \
other are so odd. Sometimes two balls will get into a tight orbit \
around each other, to be interrupted later by a third, or by the edge \
of the screen. It looks quite chaotic. \
\\n\\n\
Written by Jamie Zawinski, based on Lisp code by John Pezaris.",
"*hacks.pyro.documentation: \
Pyro draws exploding fireworks. Blah blah blah. Written by Jamie \
Zawinski.",
"*hacks.helix.documentation: \
This repeatedly generates spirally string-art-ish patterns. Written \
by Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.pedal.documentation: \
This is sort of a combination spirograph/string-art. It generates a \
large, complex polygon, and lets the X server do the bulk of the work \
by giving it an even/odd winding rule. Written by Dale Moore, based \
on some ancient PDP-11 code.",
"*hacks.rorschach.documentation: \
This generates random inkblot patterns. The algorithm is deceptively \
simple for how well it works; it merely walks a dot around the screen \
randomly, and then reflects the image horizontally, vertically, or \
both. Any deep-seated neurotic tendencies which this program reveals \
are your own problem. Written by Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.hopalong.documentation: \
This draws lacy fractal patterns, based on iteration in the imaginary \
plane, from a 1986 Scientific American article. Mostly written by \
Patrick Naughton.",
"*hacks.greynetic.documentation: \
This draws random colored and stippled rectangles. Written by Jamie \
Zawinski.",
"*hacks.xroger.documentation: \
The XScreenSaver logo. Don't you hate it? So do I. Would you like \
to design a new logo for XScreenSaver? If so, send jwz your \
submissions.",
"*hacks.imsmap.name: IMSmap",
"*hacks.imsmap.documentation: \
This generates random cloud-like patterns. It looks quite different \
in monochrome and color. The basic idea is to take four points on \
the edge of the image, and assign each a random ``elevation''. Then \
find the point between them, and give it a value which is the average \
of the other four, plus some small random offset. Then coloration is \
done based on elevation. \
\\n\\n\
The color selection is done by binding the elevation to either hue, \
saturation, or brightness, and assigning random values to the others. \
The ``brightness'' mode tends to yield cloudlike patterns, and the \
others tend to generate images that look like heat-maps or CAT-scans. \
Written by Juergen Nickelsen and Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.slidescreen.name: SlideScreen",
"*hacks.slidescreen.documentation: \
This grabs an image of whatever is on your screen, divides it into a \
grid, and then randomly shuffles the squares around as if it was one \
of those annoying ``16-puzzle'' games, where there is a grid of \
squares, one of which is missing. I hate trying to solve those \
puzzles, but watching one permute itself is more amusing. Written by \
Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.decayscreen.name: DecayScreen",
"*hacks.decayscreen.documentation: \
This grabs an image of whatever is on your screen, and makes it melt. \
You've no doubt seen this effect before, but no screensaver would \
really be complete without it. It works best if there's something \
colorful visible. Warning, if the effect continues after the screen \
saver is off, seek medical attention. Written by David Wald and \
Vivek Khera. \
\\n\\n\
A number of these screenhacks have the ability to take an image of \
your desktop and manipulate it in some way. On SGI systems, these \
programs are able to (at random) pull their source image from the \
system's video input instead! This works nicely if you leave some \
some random television station plugged in.",
"*hacks.jigsaw.documentation: \
This grabs a screen image, carves it up into a jigsaw puzzle, \
shuffles it, and then solves the puzzle. This works especially well \
when you feed it an external video signal instead of letting it grab \
the screen image (actually, I guess this is generally true...) When \
it is grabbing a video image, it is sometimes pretty hard to guess \
what the image is going to look like once the puzzle is solved. \
Written by Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.blitspin.name: BlitSpin",
"*hacks.blitspin.documentation: \
The ``blitspin'' hack repeatedly rotates a bitmap by 90 degrees by \
using logical operations: the bitmap is divided into quadrants, and \
the quadrants are shifted clockwise. Then the same thing is done \
again with progressively smaller quadrants, except that all \
sub-quadrants of a given size are rotated in parallel. Written by \
Jamie Zawinski based on some cool SmallTalk code seen in in Byte \
Magazine in 1981. \
\\n\\n\
As you watch it, the image appears to dissolve into static and then \
reconstitute itself, but rotated. You can provide the image to use, \
as an XBM or XPM file, or tell it to grab a screen image and rotate \
that.",
"*hacks.slip.documentation: \
This program throws some random bits on the screen, then sucks them \
through a jet engine and spews them out the other side. To avoid \
turning the image completely to mush, every now and then it will and \
then it interjects some splashes of color into the scene, or go into \
a spin cycle, or stretch the image like taffy, or (this is my \
addition) grab an image of your current desktop to chew on. \
Originally written by Scott Draves; whacked on by Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.distort.documentation: \
This hack grabs an image of the screen, and then lets a transparent \
lens wander around the screen, magnifying whatever is underneath. \
Written by Jonas Munsin.",
"*hacks.spotlight.documentation: \
Draws a spotlight scanning across a black screen, illumnating the \
underlying desktop when it passes. Written by Rick Schultz.",
"*hacks.hypercube.documentation: \
This displays 2D projections of the sequence of 3D objects which are \
the projections of the 4D analog to the cube: as a square is composed \
of four lines, each touching two others; and a cube is composed of \
six squares, each touching four others; a hypercube is composed of \
eight cubes, each touching six others. To make it easier to \
visualize the rotation, it uses a different color for the edges of \
each face. Don't think about it too long, or your brain will melt. \
Written by Joe Keane, Fritz Mueller, and Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.halo.documentation: \
This draws trippy psychedelic circular patterns that hurt to look at. \
It can also animate the control-points, but that takes a lot of CPU \
and bandwidth. Written by Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.maze.documentation: \
This is the ancient X maze demo, modified to work with xscreensaver. \
It generates a random maze, then solves it with visual feedback. \
Originally by Jim Randell; modified by a cast of thousands.",
"*hacks.noseguy.documentation: \
A little man with a big nose wanders around your screen saying \
things. The things which he says can come from a file, or from an \
external program like `zippy' or `fortune'. This was extracted from \
`xnlock' by Dan Heller. Colorized by Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.flame.documentation: \
Another iterative fractal generator. Written by Scott Draves.",
"*hacks.lmorph.name: LMorph",
"*hacks.lmorph.documentation: \
This generates random spline-ish line drawings and morphs between \
them. Written by Sverre H. Huseby and Glenn T. Lines.",
"*hacks.deco.documentation: \
This one subdivides and colors rectangles randomly. It looks kind of \
like Brady-Bunch-era rec-room wall paneling. (Raven says: ``this \
screensaver is ugly enough to peel paint.'') Written by Jamie \
Zawinski, inspired by Java code by Michael Bayne.",
"*hacks.moire.documentation: \
This one draws cool circular interference patterns. Most of the \
circles you see aren't explicitly rendered, but show up as a result \
of interactions between the other pixels that were drawn. Written by \
Jamie Zawinski, inspired by Java code by Michael Bayne. As he \
pointed out, the beauty of this one is that the heart of the display \
algorithm can be expressed with just a pair of loops and a handful of \
arithmetic, giving it a high ``display hack metric''.",
"*hacks.moire2.documentation: \
Another example of the fun you can have with moire \
interference patterns; this hack generates fields of concentric \
circles or ovals, and combines the planes with various operations. \
The planes are moving independently of one another, causing the \
interference lines to ``spray.'' Written by Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.lightning.documentation: \
This one draws crackling fractal lightning bolts. It's simple, \
direct, and to the point. If only it had sound... Written by Keith \
Romberg.",
"*hacks.strange.documentation: \
This draws strange attractors: it's a colorful, \
unpredictably-animating field of dots that swoops and twists around. \
The motion is very nice. Written by Massimino Pascal.",
"*hacks.spiral.documentation: \
Moving circular patterns, by Peter Schmitzberger. Moving circular \
patterns means moire; interference patterns, of course.",
"*hacks.laser.documentation: \
Moving radiating lines, that look vaguely like scanning laser beams. \
Written by Pascal Pensa. (Frankie say: relax.)",
"*hacks.grav.documentation: \
This program draws a simple orbital simulation. If you turn on \
trails, it looks kind of like a cloud-chamber photograph. Written \
by Greg Bowering.",
"*hacks.drift.documentation: \
How could one possibly describe this except as ``drifting recursive \
fractal cosmic flames?'' Another fine hack from the Scott Draves \
collection of fine hacks.",
"*hacks.ifs.name: IFS",
"*hacks.ifs.documentation: \
This one draws spinning, colliding iterated-function-system images. \
Written by Massimino Pascal.",
"*hacks.julia.documentation: \
This one draws spinning, animating (are you detecting a pattern here \
yet?) explorations of the Julia set. You've probably seen static \
images of this fractal form before, but it's a lot of fun to watch in \
motion as well. One interesting thing is that there is a small \
swinging dot passing in front of the image, which indicates the \
control point from which the rest of the image was generated. \
Written by Sean McCullough.",
"*hacks.penrose.documentation: \
Draws quasiperiodic tilings; think of the implications on modern \
formica technology. Written by Timo Korvola. \
\\n\\n\
In April 1997, Sir Roger Penrose, a British math professor who has \
worked with Stephen Hawking on such topics as relativity, black \
holes, and whether time has a beginning, filed a \
copyright-infringement lawsuit against the Kimberly-Clark \
Corporation, which Penrose said copied a pattern he created (a \
pattern demonstrating that ``a nonrepeating pattern could exist in \
nature'') for its Kleenex quilted toilet paper. Penrose said he \
doesn't like litigation but, ``When it comes to the population of \
Great Britain being invited by a multinational to wipe their bottoms \
on what appears to be the work of a Knight of the Realm, then a last \
stand must be taken.'' \

triangle fractal. Written by Desmond Daignault.",
"*hacks.braid.documentation: \
Draws random color-cycling inter-braided concentric circles. Written \

"*hacks.galaxy.documentation: \
This draws spinning galaxies, which then collide and scatter their \
stars to the, uh, four winds or something. Originally an Amiga \
program by Uli Siegmund.",
"*hacks.bouboule.documentation: \
This draws what looks like a spinning, deforming baloon with \
varying-sized spots painted on its invisible surface. Written by \
Jeremie Petit.",
"*hacks.swirl.documentation: \
More flowing, swirly patterns. This version is by M. Dobie and R. \
Taylor, but you might have seen a Mac program similar to this called \
FlowFazer. There is also a cool Java applet of a similar concept",
"*hacks.flag.documentation: \
This draws a waving colored flag, that undulates its way around the \
screen. The trick is the flag can contain arbitrary text and images. \
By default, it displays either the current system name and OS \
type, or a picture of ``Bob,'' but you can replace the text or the \
image with a command-line option. Written by Charles Vidal and Jamie \
Zawinski.",

Another Lissajous figure. This one draws the progress of circular \
shapes along a path. Written by Alexander Jolk.",
"*hacks.goop.documentation: \
This draws set of animating, transparent, amoeba-like blobs. The \
blobs change shape as they wander around the screen, and they are \
translucent, so you can see the lower blobs through the higher ones, \
and when one passes over another, their colors merge. Written by \
Jamie Zawinski. I got the idea for this from a cool mouse pad I \
have, which achieves the same kind of effect in real life by having \
several layers plastic with colored oil between them. Written by \
Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.starfish.documentation: \
This generates a sequence of undulating, throbbing, star-like \
patterns which pulsate, rotate, and turn inside out. Another display \
mode uses these shapes to lay down a field of colors, which are then \
cycled. The motion is very organic. Written by Jamie Zawinski.",

An ancient xlock hack that draws multicolored worms that crawl around \
the screen. Written by Brad Taylor, Dave Lemke, Boris Putanec, and \
Henrik Theiling.",
"*hacks.rotor.documentation: \
Another ancient xlock demo, this one by Tom Lawrence. It draws a \
line segment moving along a complex spiraling curve. I tweaked this \
to generate curvier lines, but still frames of it don't look like \
much.",
"*hacks.ant.documentation: \
A cellular automaton that is really a two-dimensional Turing machine: \
as the heads (``ants'') walk along the screen, they change pixel \
values in their path. Then, as they pass over changed pixels, their \
behavior is influenced. Written by David Bagley.",
"*hacks.demon.documentation: \
A cellular automaton that starts with a random field, and organizes \
it into stripes and spirals. Written by David Bagley.",
"*hacks.loop.documentation: \
This one produces loop-shaped colonies that spawn, age, and \
eventually die. Written by David Bagley.",
"*hacks.vines.documentation: \
This one generates a continuous sequence of small, curvy geometric \
patterns. It scatters them around your screen until it fills up, \
then it clears the screen and starts over. Written by Tracy Camp and \
David Hansen.",
"*hacks.kaleidescope.documentation: \
Another clone of an ancient meme, consisting largely of frenetic \
rotational motion of colored lines. This one is by Ron Tapia. The \
motion is nice, but I think it needs more solids, or perhaps just \
brighter colors. More variations in the rotational speed might help, \
too.",
"*hacks.xjack.documentation: \
This program behaves schizophrenically and makes a lot of typos. \
Written by Jamie Zawinski. If you haven't seen Stanley Kubrick's \
masterpiece, ``The Shining,'' you won't get it. Those who have \
describe this hack as ``inspired.''",
"*hacks.xlyap.documentation: \
This generates pretty fractal pictures by doing funky math involving \
the ``Lyapunov exponent.'' It has a cool interactive mode, too. \
Written by Ron Record.",
"*hacks.cynosure.documentation: \
A hack similar to `greynetic', but less frenetic. The first \
implementation was by Stephen Linhart; then Ozymandias G. Desiderata \
wrote a Java applet clone. That clone was discovered by Jamie \
Zawinski, and ported to C for inclusion here.",
"*hacks.flow.documentation: \
Another series of strange attractors: a flowing series of points, \
making strange rotational shapes. Written by Jeff Butterworth.",
"*hacks.epicycle.documentation: \
This program draws the path traced out by a point on the edge of a \

circle, and so on, several times. These were the basis for the \
pre-heliocentric model of planetary motion. Written by James \
Youngman.",

Another color-field hack, this one works by computing decaying \
sinusoidal waves, and allowing them to interfere with each other as \

More ``discrete map'' systems, including new variants of Hopalong and \
Julia, and a few others. Written by Tim Auckland.",

a grid of growing square-like shapes that, once they overtake each \
other, react in unpredictable ways. ``RD'' stands for \
reaction-diffusion.",
"*hacks.sonar.documentation: \
This program draws a simulation of a sonar screen. Written by \
default, it displays a random assortment of ``bogies'' on the screen, \
but if compiled properly, it can ping (pun intended) your local \
network, and actually plot the proximity of the other hosts on your \
network to you. It would be easy to make it monitor other sources of \
data, too. (Processes? Active network connections? CPU usage per \
user?) Written by Stephen Martin.",

"*hacks.t3d.documentation: \
This draws a working analog clock composed of floating, throbbing \
bubbles. Written by Bernd Paysan.",
"*hacks.penetrate.documentation: \
This hack simulates the classic arcade game Missile Command. Written \
by Adam Miller.",
"*hacks.deluxe.documentation: \
This draws a pulsing sequence of stars, circles, and lines. It would \
look better if it was faster, but as far as I can tell, there is no \
way to make this be both: fast, and flicker-free. Yet another reason \
X sucks. Written by Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.compass.documentation: \
This draws a compass, with all elements spinning about randomly, for \
that ``lost and nauseous'' feeling. Written by Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.squiral.documentation: \
Draws a set of interacting, square-spiral-producing automata. The \
spirals grow outward until they hit something, then they go around \
it. Written by Jeff Epler.",

Draws a simulation of pulsing fire. It can also take an arbitrary \
image and set it on fire too. Written by Carsten Haitzler, hacked on \
by many others.",
"*hacks.wander.documentation: \
Draws a colorful random-walk, in various forms. Written by Rick \
Campbell.",

Draws a system of self-organizing lines. It starts out as random \
squiggles, but after a few iterations, order begins to appear. \
Written by Martin Pool.",

Draws a simulation of an old terminal, with large pixels and \
long-sustain phosphor. It can run any program as a source of the text \
it displays. Written by Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.xmatrix.documentation: \
A rendition of the text scrolls seen in the movie ``The Matrix.'' \

Draws a simulation of flying space-combat robots (cleverly disguised \
as colored circles) doing battle in front of a moving star field. \
Written by Jonathan Lin.",
"*hacks.bumps.documentation: \
A bit like `Spotlight', except that instead of merely exposing part \
of your desktop, it creates a bump map from it. Basically, it \
3D-izes a roaming section of your desktop, based on color intensity. \

By Rohit Singh.",
"*hacks.webcollage.name: WebCollage",
"*hacks.webcollage.documentation: \
This program makes collages out of random images pulled off of the \
World Wide Web. It finds these images by doing random web searches, \
and then extracting images from the returned pages. It can also be \
set up to filter the images through the `VidWhacker' program, above, \
which looks really great. \
\\n\\n\
(Note that most of the images it finds are text, and not pictures. \
This is because most of the web is pictures of text. Which is pretty \
sad.) Written by Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.vidwhacker.name: VidWhacker",
"*hacks.vidwhacker.documentation: \
This is actually just a shell script that grabs a frame of video from \
the system's video input, and then uses some PBM filters (chosen at \
random) to manipulate and recombine the video frame in various ways \
(edge detection, subtracting the image from a rotated version of \
itself, etc.) Then it displays that image for a few seconds, and \
does it again. This works really well if you just feed broadcast \
television into it. \
\\n\\n\
Currently, the three lines of the script that actually grab the \
source picture are SGI specific, but it should be trivial to adapt it \
to work on other systems that can grab video (please send me the \
changes if you do this...)",
"*hacks.rocks.documentation: \
This draws an animation of flight through an asteroid field, with \
changes in rotation and direction. It can also display 3D \
separations for red/blue glasses! Mostly written by Jamie Zawinski.",
"*hacks.bubbles.documentation: \
This simulates the kind of bubble formation that happens when water \
boils:small bubbles appear, and as they get closer to each other, \
they combine to form larger bubbles, which eventually pop. Written \
by James Macnicol.",

This draws a set of turning, interlocking gears, rotating in three \
dimensions. Another GL hack, by Danny Sung, Brian Paul, and Ed \
Mackey.",
