Product Description:
Evolvotron is interactive "generative art" software to evolve images/textures/patterns through an iterative process of random mutation and user-selection driven evolution. Generated pictures can be saved at different resolutions and used as desktop picture, etc. (you name it). If you like lava-lamps, and still think the Mandelbrot set is cool, this could be the software for you.

this Qt is not Quicktime - Version: 0.2.3, 1/24/2005 11:07PM PST

The "Qt" that this program uses is not Apple Quicktime. Rather, it is a cross-platform C library (or framework), also used by some other software found on versiontracker (for instance qucs). You have to download and install these Qt from trolltech for this app to work.
When I run the program, I see a window that immediately draws colorful tiles. There are buttons on the bottom of the window that appear to change the parameters that generate the colorful tiles. When I click in the picture, it redraws the screen in a different, yet similar fashion.

This is not your typical Mac application. If you download it, you can do two things (I'm not sure if they are the same or not, but they look the same).
1. Open the folder, then open the folder that says evolvotron and then double click on the application evolvotron. A window opens that runs fine on my machine.
2. Compile the source. You need the quicktime developer files, which I have in my /Developer directory. Using Terminal,
cd evolvotron // wherever it may be
./BUILD // you will get an error message
cd // go to your home directory
source ./login // there is now the path to the quicktime directory
cd evolvotron // wherever it may be
./configure // you should not get any error messages
make // compiles it (took a long time, with some error messages)
su make install // you will need to root password
Pay attention to where it installed it.
Mine was at /home/root/bin/evolvotron_match.app

On the same page is a Qt/Mac 3.3.4 "minimal" installer (GPL edition) available (10Mb), which allows to run evolvotron or any other Qt3-based program provided on the ATG website. You can download it via:
