I doubt you did this on purpose - however, if you listen to "Up is Down" by Hanz Zimmer from the Pirates of the Caribbean 3 movie, the musical and visual transitions line up nearly perfectly.

The best alignment occurs when you start the experiment before the music, with as little time between them as possible. Just put the song on repeat and let it run!

For those of you who wanted a screensaver, I made one that is similar to this but not the same. It looks different but the concept is the same (it uses semi-transparent circles) and it still creates some awesome images. It can be downloaded at http://bennettmarsh.webs.com/kaleidoscope/kaleidoscope.htm

Or if you tested it under Chrome 1.0 please try again with Chrome 2.xx, perhaps it will works better...

If you try under Internet Explorer, nobody can help that :)

I'm seeing a lot of requests for a screensaver, so I figure I'll make one if I'm not too busy. Note that I'm not actually one of the original developers, but the source is pretty easily obtained and converted to GML. Game Maker doesn't make the fastest apps, but it ought to be plenty efficient enough for this, and it's the fastest development environment I use, so I can whip something up in about a day if I feel like it.

Don't forget to send the final .scr file to the original author ;)

Don't worry, I'm going to host it and put the link on here so everybody can share the love! Don't expect it too soon, though, I have an art program that I'm currently making for the purpose of a specific assignment in art class, and time is of the essence if I want to be able to do the actual art part of the homework before the due date. I'll probably start work on the screensaver later this month, and work on it for at most a week, because most of the work has already been done for me.

None of the things on this site work on any version of IE, Download a better browser such as Firefox, Opera, Google Chrome, or Safari.

By REZ on March 30, 2009

It doesn't work under IE7 simply because it's the only one browser who DOESN'T support the "canvas" library :'(

Awesome programming. I think this is one of the more practical examples yet (this and the Tetris game), to show how more powerful javascript may shape websites in the near future.

By Martin on March 20, 2009

This is so cool!

This is very useful as a waiting-graphic, while a report loads in a browser. People will actually want loading times to be long, in order to see more of this beauty!

Works for me in Opera 9.52 and Firefox 3.0.5.

Does not work for me in IE6 (Surprise!)
