    "Cellular atomata" creative coding project that I came up with and have spent most of my HS senior year working on. Basically, the cells that are 'lit up' are all chosen by huge games of minesweeper that the computer plays in the background. Usually multiple games are being played at once (I usually run 3 minesweeper-solver threads) which causes overlap and interference in the output. I had an old version that I wrote with the processing IDE, but it felt really hacky. This new version was done in Eclipse, and is greatly improved in terms of speed, reliability, multithreaded correctness, and code quality.

    -requires java 7-

    source:

    https://github.com/aarongolliver/MineFlow_Capstone

    (eclipse project)

    binary download:

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3571536/MineFlow.jar

    (run with java -jar MineFlow.jar

    (note: because of the way it's programmed, it will work best on quad core processors or better, preferably Nehalem better

    The GUI is separate from the minesweeper solvers, so faster cores provide faster generation)

    also, it looks much better at higher resolutions (I run 1920x1080 and 1920x1200).

    I know creating windows screensaver is dead-simple (just rename the .exe to .src)

    Do you know if there's any way to do the same thing on a mac?
    And it would be great if there was a way to do it on windows, because then I can keep all my work in one place/not need two machines/etc

    Thanks!
