Features:
– Responds to the beat of the music
– 6 different modes

Pretty cool. The programmer is a 16 year old high school kid.
This doesn’t work in Mac OS, only OSX, so who cares?
Nice concept, excellent price, but it doesn’t seem to react to music. It spouts and spurts just as much to silent passages as it does with hard rock. I saw no difference between various songs or varying passages within the same song. It simply seems random, not unlike a screen saver.
For a 28k file size, I am impressed.
But for someone that likes to use the iTunes (and its associated display on a tv) during parties, this one doesn’t react accurately enough (if at all) with the music.
Nice screen saver – poor iTunes visualizer.
Welcome to the new world, zzzzz… Classic Mac is dead. Get a job, save your money, or ask mommy and daddy, and upgrade.
Update to my previous comment:
After watching it for 20 full minutes with various tunes, I was able to see some reaction to music. But, the constantly tall central fountain and unexplained random bursts hide the smaller lateral sprays that seem to be responding to music.
I would like to see the central fountain respond to the lower third of the frequencies and less dramatic reaction to high noise (cymbal crash, etc).
The overall results are still a bit too random in appearance.
Yes, I do realize the file size of my comments are larger than the program itself.
On the positive side, I give the young programmer an A+ for the effort and imagination!! …and proving to the world the ease of Apple programming to produce quality results.
Good job!
A cool feature is what happens when you pause/stop the music: You get a Matrix style suspension of action combined with rotation of the (3D) fountain
Not me zzzz… I don’t care that it only works in OSX.
Some things do respond to music–and some songs more than others. But other things are going on at random so it’s hard to tell.
Still neat, and free! And very compact, too.
I have it going to Wagner’s “The Ride Of The Valkyries From Die Walkure” and it reacts very well to the music. It’s cool.
