This is a Rocking Screensaver! - Version: 10.1, 2/19/2006 12:45PM PST

I have an iMac 1.9 Mhz G5 and this screensaver runs very smoothly on it. There are no troubles at all with screen flicker or stalling. I like the options panel and have this baby dialed in. Thanks for porting this to us Mac peeps! Now, would you be so kind as to port the tunnel screensaver (don't know it name) that I always see my PC friends using? Besides G-Force, this is the best abstract multi color screensaver I have downloaded. Thanks again! Great job!!!

A visual thing and no screenshot? Poor.

This has potential but it's not there yet. For one thing, it flickers constantly, either on an LCD or CRT. I believe this is because you need to sync your redraw times to the vertical interlace interval. I just saw a presenter at WWDC talking about this very thing. There's a way to specify this in OpenGL, but I can't remember what it is at the moment. Also, more adjustments would be nice (custom color sets, etc.).
