Product Description:

Gravity is a chaotic, scientifically inspired screen saver created in OpenGL. At its heart is a collection of planets that exist in a miniature universe. Each planet has mass and velocity, and is affected by gravitational forces from all of the other planets. Eventually, the planets will collide, the victors gaining mass in the destruction of others. Planets will become larger and larger until they form into suns and finally black holes. The universe is not only populated by planets: spaceborne spectators will come to watch the chaos and cause a little themselves!

This is a fun and enduring screensaver. Most screensavers are interesting, but the novely wears off rather quickly. However this screensaver is different. At first it shows lots of planets moving around the screen, but if you leave it be, you'll find that things happen. Planets become stars, collapse into black holes and explode. There are space battles. I've shown it to a couple of friends and many have made it their default screensaver.

if all screen savers were like ones reviewer listed below, it would be pretty boring world. because a screensaver isn't make up swirling masse of color doesn't mean its bad screensaver or worth 1 star. if this is 1 star what do you give a screensaver which doesn't work based on a 5 star scale? you review is just stupid.

something which is free, and where the developer has the best intentions, but these Trivectus screensavers are rather bland and uninteresting, compared to Helios, Marine Aquarium, and Red Pill, which remain my favorites.
