kcometen4.kss – An OpenGL screensaver with exploding comets.
Synopsis
kcometen4.kss [Qt options] [KDE options] [options]Description
KCometen4 is an OpenGL screensaver. A variety of multi-colored comets bounce inside a room until they explode. Occasionally lightning will also strike and blow them up. Meanwhile, a free-floating camera watches the action and sometimes enters a slow motion "bullet time" mode. It is suprisingly hypnotic.Options
