Zen Light 2.0.8563

Zen Light 2.0.8563 is an interactive screensaver that allows you to experience it as extremely intricate and beautiful patterns emerge from the contributions of thousands of individual dots. The display is constantly in motion and evolving - you will never see the exact same image twice.

The complex patterns that arise are based on a very few simple mathematical formulas that govern how a single particle interacts with its environment. When thousands of particles (or more) are thrown into the simulation, very intricate and unexpected patterns emerge, given a few environmental rules (the 'Home' settings) and a starting point (the 'Pattern' settings). The colors chosen are a reflection of the state of each particle (e.g. its velocity, direction of travel, or nearness to an attractor). When added all up, the emergent behavior of the collection of particles gives rise to beautiful images that you never would have predicted.

Major Features:

1. Be captivated by the natural rhythms and endless outpourings of color and light.
2. Let the organic imagery, chaotic yet ordered, fire your imagination and creativity!
3. Create an infinite variety of both kaleidoscopic and natural forms that resemble nature such as flowers, clouds, nebulae, aurora (northern lights), abstract and impressionist paintings, fireworks, snowflakes, rainbow colored fire, bubbles, and all manner of shimmering light patterns and fluid motion.
4. Include hundreds of screen savers all in one.
5. Take advantage of OpenGL, and multiple CPUs to increase detail and fluidity of motion.
