Chaos. This relatively new field of mathematics offers a dizzying glimpse at the mysteries of the universe. This is a domain where the most complex forms develop at random, a domain where paradoxes and unpredictability can suddenly give birth to familiar figures. This is a domain, more pragmatically, in which I don't understand anything at all.
All I know is that, more often than not, it's nice to watch.

So here it is: this screensaver calculates in real time a few tens of thousands of points from a Pickover algorithm (well known to lovers of chaos) and displays them as a beautiful multicolored nebula. When the drawing is completed, the cloud "morphes" to another randomly generated nebula, and so on ...

Here are the specifications:

• You can choose the colors used to generate the gradient of your choice;
• Possibility to display the time of the day;
• Possibility to display the frame rate to verify that your computer is powerful enough to use this screensaver.
  (The ideal operating range is between 45 and 60 frames per second)
• You can set the number of points to be displayed, in order to optimize the frame rate according to the power of your computer;
• Simplified installation and uninstallation (integrated setup);
