Maps stable and chaotic regions of periodically forced nonlinear systems using Lyapunov exponents.
Ported from XScreenSaver's xlyap.c, written by Ron Record (rr@sco), 3 September 1991 (Lyap 2.3, patchlevel 4).
Crystalline cracks grow into city-like structures with softly sand-painted regions, using the original Pollock-derived palette on white. Controls include initial and maximum cracks, sand grains, circular cracks, wireframe, seamless wrapping, growth delay, regeneration cycles, pause, and restart. Controls update the running drawing without clearing existing marks. Initial cracks applies on the next restart; circle percentage affects newly started paths. Lowering the maximum crack count retires excess moving tips while keeping their trails.
Ported from XScreenSaver's substrate.c. Original Substrate by Jared Tarbell (2004), XScreenSaver port by Mike Kershaw, and circular cracks by David Agraz (2005). The archived source is retained unchanged; the Cloudlife adaptation uses CPU rendering on macOS and Linux.
Layers Hopalong orbits into a three-dimensional point cloud.
Turns Collatz sequences into branching, birdlike structures in three dimensions.
Explores a collection of strange attractors with adjustable map parameters.
Simulates slime-mold agents following pheromone trails to form organic networks.
Embeds integers in three dimensions with UMAP, grouping them by shared prime factors.
exec swayidle \
timeout 240 "swaymsg exec 'cloudlife -a 8 -S'" \
resume "swaymsg exec 'killall cloudlife'"
Some sway configuretion regarding window placement shold be done.
Instead of directly calling cloudlife some bash script sohould
be used and -a number is chosen randomly from preferred screensavers.
TODO: support multiple monitors via filtering by title. How to
place a window in current workspace on certain output in sway config?
