An Unofficial Penny-Arcade Screensaver: Strange Attractors.
[download]
|
Modern scientists have often wondered: If the characters from Penny-Arcade were solid gravitational bodies on a frictionless finite 2D plane, what would it be like?
Well now, thanks to my Herculean efforts, you can show off your big-brained thirst for scientific knowledge and finely tuned sense of humor all in your computers spare time!
Such joy!
Requirements:
Windows 98 or better
1GHz processor or better (less if you have a decent 3D video card)
DirectX 9.0 or better
About 4MB hard drive space
A brain (or know someone with one)
For comparison this was developed on an IBM Thinkpad A22, 800MHz, ATI RAGE Mobility video, 512MB of ram and Windows 98. Not exactly a powerhouse but then
I wouldn't say it had a 'smooth' frame rate either with all the options cranked up.
Please note: This is UNOFFICAL, the Penny-Arcade has no connection with, or even awareness of, this program. So don't bug them about it.
Please also note: The software is considered BETA! That is I haven't had a chance to test it on many different systems so there are probably hardware/software conflict issues. If you have problems let me know here
