• Random Animations

  Of course this has all kinds of different animations, but it reminds me of Electric Sheep, a really cool fractal flame screensaver. You install it locally and can upvote/downvote different "sheep" to your liking [1] https://electricsheep.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• What would be cool to do or see while on 🍄?

  I've been using this screensaver for 15 years and I have watched it more than cable. You're welcome. Source: about 1 year ago

• I like where this is going. How complexity arises from simple rules. Inspiring.

  It's "just" a screensaver, not soundreactive, but are you aware of https://electricsheep.org/ ? Source: about 1 year ago

• What is something that instantly puts you in a good mood, or makes your day ?

  There are other ways to plot fractal shapes though. For example, a Sierpinski triangle can be constructed using a simple "chaos game" algorithm. By applying a simple rule over and over, complex and beautiful shapes can emerge. In the 90's, a math art coder released such an algorithm, called Flame3, which lets artists combine different mathematical functions in a chaotic way. This created the foundation for the...

  Reminds me of Electric Sheep[1] - I can't wait until someone hooks up news stories to have abstract news as a screensaver! [1]: https://electricsheep.org/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• I am never going to give up on Winamp. I love the way the text melts into the visualizer itself.

  Try the Electric Sheep screensaver. You'll be blown away! Especially if you like psychedelics. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Hey, so can anyone offer any thoughts on how something like this is made? Looks to me like a practical effect so I’m keen to know if anyone has thoughts on what’s being used here, glassware of some kind with a light source behind it?

  Level 1jpjapers · 2 hr. Agolooks like one of the electric sheep renders. I'm pretty convinced that it could be from that project. I've seen similar ones before.https://electricsheep.org/. Source: almost 2 years ago

  It looks like an electricsheep.org/ render. Source: almost 2 years ago

  Electric sheep is a great way for your computer to dream. Source: about 2 years ago

  You joke, but it exists. I always liked to believe it's rx on an artificial unconsciousness, which itself is a necessary precursor to true AI. Source: about 2 years ago

  Electric Sheep comes close but sadly it's only a (crowdsourced) screensaver. Source: over 2 years ago

• A stochastic method to generate the Sierpinski triangle

  As others have pointed out, a generalization of this method (iterated function systems) can generate a large class of fractals. Going a step further, changing the "functions" over time can create smoothly animated fractals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractal_flame). Electric Sheep (https://electricsheep.org/) is a screensaver which doubles as a distributed computing network to generate them. It also mixes in... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

  It's fine, they've got the whole thing crowdsourced: https://electricsheep.org/. Source: over 2 years ago

  I, for one, like them. ElectricSheep is quite nice, for example. Source: over 2 years ago

  While not a visualiser the milkdrop lead me to find https://electricsheep.org/ back in the day. It's a masterpiece of digital creative visualisation. Source: over 2 years ago
