About Terazzo:
Nifty screen saver offering realtime Terazzo effect.

Inspired by the Photoshop Plugin of the same name, Terazzo creates kaleidoscope-like realtime graphics - a nice-looking effect you can watch for hours without getting bored. Some applications live forever: this program was originally written for MS DOS using Borland C++, adapted to DJGPP, ported to Visual C++ under MS-Windows and now recoded as a BeOS screen saver. Kernel routines were implemented using assembler, but had to be rewritten using C to support high colour and true colour bit depths (may be I will code it again using assembler, but inline assembler under GCC is quite a pain). Now it requires approximately a Celeron 300 (at least it runs smoothly with my Celeron 400 at 1152x864x16).

Special feature:
  • choose between two effect modes - first effect is the real terazzo effect, the second one was actually a bug, but it looks much nicer :)
  • doesn't consume processing power when screen is off (standard screen savers always render, even if you cannot see it)

Thanks to Sven Geisenhainer for having the nice idea for this toy and for spending nice hours coding the original DOS demo.
