Subject: Red Pill 1.4 source code release
Red Pill is a free screensaver for Mac OS X. It displays strips of green
alien code which slowly draw themselves on the screen as they sweep
towards you in 3D. It may bear a certain resemblance to graphics seen in
a popular Sci Fi movie trilogy. Unlike other similar screensavers, this
one is true 3D with depth fogging and motion trails. It was written in
Cocoa specifically for the Mac and uses OpenGL.
As of version 1.4, Red Pill is open source software, released under the
GNU General Public License. This means you are free to use any or all of
the source code to Red Pill to create your own screen savers, and you
can distribute the results free of charge, so long as you also
distribute the source code.
A separate binary-only release is being submitted to info-mac for those
who just want to run the screen saver.
Also new in this version: Bug fixes for dual-monitor setups, GL driver
error workarounds, and Japanese localization.
Red Pill was written for Mac OS X 10.2, but people have reported success
running it on OS X 10.1. Because of OpenGL bugs, the latest version of
OS X is highly recommended. The screensaver should work adequately on a
350MHz G4 with a Rage 128 graphics card using the default settings.
