Just a tiny little project I whipped up to develop two key technologies for my next miniproject:
- Brownian motion
- HSL colorspace
As such, a picture can't show off the motion and pulsating color which is what Brownie is all about, but...
It's not a game, just a screensaver, but it's tiny and neat and rather mesmerizing in a lavalamp kind of way, so why not give it a try?

Re: Brownie Screensaver
I had to comment out line 34 in order to see it more than a frame, and the background (line 54 rectangle?) does not fill the entire screen, but what I saw was pretty cool. Nice work, it is pretty mesmerizing.

Re: Brownie Screensaver
No idea why line 34 would cause a problem. I'm assuming you aren't moving your mouse... Maybe it's a Linux thing? Whatever, I whipped up a fix (I hope. Tell me if it works, please). I also fixed the background rectangle thing (forgot to set it to the screen's size, whoops).

EDIT) Tweaked it so that bubbles have hue offsets. Much prettier now. Download links updated again.

Re: Brownie Screensaver
Still had to comment out the mouse line. The machine I'm testing it on is Windows XP SP3. Perhaps my mouse is too sensitive for your program?
Otherwise it does indeed look better, have you considered having some of the circles modulate in size?

Re: Brownie Screensaver
My next miniproject will have them moving in 3 dimensions, so size will be accounted for. You aren't moving your mouse after running the file, are you?

Oooo... Pretty colors.
Re: Brownie Screensaver
Whoa... That thing has a HUGE resolution. It doubled my screen resolution by opening it. My graphics card can't physically handle a resolution that high... o_O

Re: Brownie Screensaver
If so, then it's love.graphics.getModes()'s problem, not mine - I use that to find what should be the highest rez a system is capable of showing. If it lies, there's not really much I can do...
