I was just wondering how difficult it would be to port some OpenGL Screensavers over from the dark side to Mac OS X. I posted on this same topic about 2 years ago.



The screen savers I am talking about can be found here...

A link the to guy's source code can be found at the top of the page. I'm not a programmer so I don't know about the technical hurdles in doing something like this, but I thought because he released the source code, and they are based on OpenGL the transition should be pretty easy. Is it as simple as a recompile?1?!?



Thanks for the attention, I would love to see these cool creative screensavers on the Mac side.

    I hope it is possible because there are some funky looking screensavers there! Now imagine making them the background image to your desktop...
