- - Here are some ``scientific'' screen savers modules for BackSpace
- based on the lorenz equations. This was the first chaotic attractor
- ever discovered and is the simplest model of the weather that you can
- make. The behavior of these equations has led scientists to claim that
- upper limit for weather predictions is two weeks, regardless of how
- good your model is or how fast your computer runs.
-
- There are 4 screensavers
-
- Lorenz: traces out 10000 points on the lorenz attractor, the view point
- is roughly based on the mouse position, you will need the patches to
- BackSpace to have it ignore mouse movement (2 lines ) in order for this
- to work correctly.
-
- LorenzSnake: Kind of a mistake , it was my first attempt at LorenzCross
- but it looked good so I kept it. It demonstrates the ``butterfly''
- effect. The points on the line all start with 0.01 of each other.
-
- LorenzCross: LorenzSnake like I originally meant it to look.
-
- LorenzRotate: The Lorenz Attractor rotating in 3d in all it's glory.
-
- - Play with the number of CHASERS and NUMPOINTS to get different effects.
