Yesterday, while I was reading the user comments on this lifehacker post I came across this amazing piece of software called Electric Sheep.
Electric Sheep is an open source distributed screen saver, the odd name is based on the novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” by Philip K. Dick, and it’s goal is to create and render animations of flaming fractals full with eye-catching colors and effects that are called “sheeps”.
The animations are then rendered, on a distributed environment, into movie files that are automatically downloaded via BitTorrent. While watching your computer dream you can even cast votes by pressing up or down on your keyboard, sheeps with less popularity will eventually be deleted and replaced by better looking ones.
Electric Sheep is available for PC, Mac, Linux and BSD.
