I bring to you, NanoLifeSaver.
NanoLifeSaver is a slick Core Animation screensaver.
(This last one is a movie, Click to Play)
Credit goes to Scott Stevenson for coming up with the original animation code.

please please fix these problems! i love this screensaver! great job. also as scott suggested on his page, perhaps a slider to control the number of layers?
Thanks!
i downloaded the new version, however preview and options still don’t work? running leopard 10.5.2. Could it be that i installed it over the top of the old one?
Killer idea but for whatever reason it’s -really- slow on my 30” cinema display running Leopard on a MacBook Pro. Even on the smallest number of dots. Oh well. :)
I usually don’t use screensavers but this looks so beautiful and aqualicious on my MacBook. It makes it look like there is something alive inside my machine!
@john: the new release should work perfectly. Try uninstalling and removing NLS completely, and re-downloading it and installing it.
Vraiment de plus en plus pourrit ici, tu te la pète toujours autant, mais vraiment rien de bien …
Any chance of releasing the source-code of this for budding core-animation screensaver developers? ;-)
Will there be a Snow Leopard version? Current version seems broken.
Could you please send me the source code? I’m trying to learn Core Animation, and this would server as a very good example to look at!
