Product Description:
ElectropaintOSX is an OS X screensaver module port of Kent Rosenkoetter's clone of SGI's Electropaint screensaver "the most mesmerizing screensaver ever written". Kent's page can be found here. Kent eloquently describes it best: "Back in the day, when SGI was the pinacle of the graphics field, included in IRIX was a pretty little screensaver known as electropaint. It consisted of only a few quads swirling around the screen on a black background, but for everyone who saw it, the memory was burned in, never to be forgotten. It was simply the most mesmerizing screensaver ever written. Entire rooms of educated computer scientists were reduced to drooling unblinking zombies within minutes." This port only wraps Kent's OpenGL code in a screensaver module using Objective-C++. The source is released under the General Public License.

This is listed as version 0.3. But I have had 1.0 on my machine for a long time?

I have had this screensaver on my powerbook for the past year. Very soothing and clean. I tried igstwisted but I could never get the same look that electropaint gives.
The version here will not run on Intel macs. The source is included so I decided to see if I could make a universal binary. I have never programed before so this was all new to me. About 45 minutes, and a lot of searching through menus later, I had my universal version built.
It works until someone that knows what they are doing comes along and makes an official update.

Nice screen saver. No frills, but good at what it does. And as one of the other folks said, "relaxing."
