The history of this Windows Screen Saver is described in the Random Numbers hobby page. This program was one of the first Windows programs I ever wrote and has been updated over the years as new versions of Windows and development kits have been released. The saver generates a variety of visually curious and attractive coloured geometric patterns based upon mathematical functions and random numbers.

The current version 3.2 was compiled under Visual Studio 2003 as a standard Win32 application. The .NET Runtime is not needed for this screen saver.
