Somewhere
in a unknown area of Cosmos, multicoloured geometrical forms curve
and play with the light.
It seems simple
(and it is!), but this screensaver fulfills perfectly its two principal
functions:
1. To move enough
pixels to prevent unaesthetic marks from appearing on your screen;
2. To trap any
potential spectator, who will then stare at the pretty colors instead
of doing  whatever
task he has to do.
On this latest
aspect, "Abstract Dance" is a total success: the rhythmic
oscillations of these coloured loops which tie and untie on the
stary background will quickly plunge you in an hypnotic transe.
(well, it has this effect on me: sometimes, I stare at the spectacle
during 5 or 10 minutes without being able to wake up...).
Enough said: Test
it, you will judge by yourself. Here are the specifications:
- Space environment recreated using photographs
from the Hubble telescope;
- Up to 1000 objects animated on screen;
- You can choose the shape of these objects (among
the Platonic Solids: tetrahedrons, cubes, octahedrons, dodecahedrons
or icosahedrons);
- Don't need a powerful graphic card -> it
works perfectly with a bureautic GPU;
- Simple installation and uninstallation (there's
an integrated install program);
