Flurry

Screenshot of Flurry

About 2 years ago, I found some OpenGL code on the internet. I spent a weekend playing around with it, and though that it would be cool to have as a screensaver. I released Flurry 1.0 for free, but asked that users send me a postcard from where they live if they liked it alot.

Some of the postcards I have received

Flurry is now version 1.4.1, and Apple has even included Flurry as the default screensaver in Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar. Their version is not as customisable as the Flurry you can download from here, but both versions include the Altivec code Apple wrote for me (Flurry was used at the WWDC 2002 by Apple's Architecture and Performance Group as a demo for optimisation techniques).

I would like to thank everyone who has sent me a postcard, as they really are an inspiration when I get bogged down with some coding problem. But please, keep sending them!
