Description

Maelstrom produces two types of eyecandy images and palette rotates them. It initially draws a vortex centered on a random position. Beyond the initial image, it draws patterns based on equations describing the electric field surrounding a set of stationary point charges in a two-dimensional space.

VGA display awash with multicolored currents, rapids, and eddies.

Maelstrom was inspired by the Macintosh screensaver Flowfazer.
