Subject: StonerView 1.2 - a meditative visual toy
StonerView produces a weirdly hypnotic helix of rippling colors. The
algorithm is mostly deterministic, slightly randomized, and about
halfway between predictable and surprising. And, if I may say so, very
beautiful.
This program is entirely my creation, but it was inspired by the demo
"ElectroPaint", found on SGI workstations.
For more notes, the latest version, and the source code, see

StonerView uses QuickDraw 3D for its display system. If you don't have
QD3D, you'll have to download the latest version of QuickTime from
Apple's web site. StonerView should run on any PowerMac with System 7 or
later.
