CURIOUS SCREENSAVERS
Stars, stars, and for a little variety: more stars. Doing things here and there, and looking generally pretty.

Audio - requires audio input to the Mac through the Audio In socket.
Mouse - requires user to load the .qtz file into Quartz Composer, and to move the mouse or touch the trackpad.
Live - requires user to load the .qtz file into Quartz Composer, provide an audio input and for the user to move the mouse or touch the trackpad.
Others - these just do things without any need for user or audio input.
More examples taken from the Curiosity Collective’s library of over 600 screensavers will be available from sourceforge.net
Magic Dust 1
1
Stuff happens, but it works best when you connect audio into the audio input of your Mac. You do know how to connect audio, don’t you?
Audio Alien Blur 1
2
Well, there’s these four wobbly arms, and they wave about and change colour, and... (You get the idea - and don’t forget to connect some audio!)
Audio Attractors 3
3
As you might expect, this one changes rather abruptly every so often - although marginally faster than the universe we know...

Audio Big Bang 2
4
Lots of movement, and lots of colour.
(Uses Audio In)
Audio Deimos 2
5
Soft, slow, and curiously organic looking - and without the aid of a video camera.
Organic Soft 1
6
This one spins round and round, but screenshots do not really capture its full glory.
Tumble Drier 3
7
More than a little distressing, this one. The top of your screen appears to melt and drip downwards. (No actual melting happens, of course - this is a simulation!)
Melt 3
8
Rain without water. Drops fall downwards and across your screen, and very little else happens.
Dropfall 2
9
This one allows you to draw with coloured mist onto the screen with your mouse. (Skill may be required for best results.)
