Screen saver esque demos?

category: general [glöplog]
 
Can somebody recommend some good demos I could leave running in the background just to have something on my screen while I'm chilling, preferably one that loops and runs without much power needed on my pc's end

Assembly 2004 invitation has a screensaver mode.

These three demos by Tran come to mind, but they may be tricky to use as screensavers on a modern PC.

Depending on what your PC can render these for example, have loop mode:

@SilkSkull:
What about playing cool demos captured as video? You can even create a nice m3u playlist.
Just an idea

Back when screensavers were a thing, this would've been a wet dream of mine.

Now I'm a boring adult and I think my system should just go to sleep pretty much whenever my paperthin attention span wills so.

:loop
your_favorite_demo.exe
goto loop

you're welcome!
Metatunnel

Eye-candy, no sound, endless loop, but max resolution is 720p for the standalone exe and it requires repacking with Crinkler for the modern OS, online version obviously doesn't have this limitation.

iirc correctly, Aardbei made screensavers based on some of their intros, can't remember the name though, but maybe someone else can?

patch Flying Windows screensaver - search for the string "Wingdings", there should be a FF before that, change it to 4E and enjoy flying skulls.

The best is for sure is https://www.plane9.com/ got all kind of demoscene like effects, can be combined and also syncs to music.. sadly not updated for years but still works ...


Info:
"Plane9 is a 3d visualizer where you never have to settle for just one view ever again. It features over 250 predefined scenes to choose from. But it doesn't end there since the scenes can be combined with one another to form a near endless supply of new views to experience. 39 transition are used to form a continous experience when moving from scene to scene.
