I use G-Force full time on the screen that is in the front panel of my home theatre preamplifier (7" lcd, on a Rotel 1098) and it's just
I use the tv out of my video card for this, in 800*600, and have tuned the preferences for the window to be boarderless and adjusted to the dimensions of the screen
whether it is music or movies G-Force is just by my side!
and with some movies...I just watch G-Force instead!
I use it for both, intensely stare at the patterns while the music is playing, and sometimes let it "hypnotize" me while listening to the music.
I have all of the available scripts that I could find, so the variations are endless and infinite.
I have to tell you, some of these scripts are pure genius. I wish I could make my own. But I tried to use a script someone else mad, and alter the variables. But it reverted back to the original variables!!!
The program is great. If one appreciates art, this is it.
I absolutely love to watch G-Force when listening to my music. It can definitely put you into a trance-like state if you really let yourself get into it. When I'm rich, I'll definitely be putting it through a projector...for now I have to content myself to my measly LCD monitor.
I have S-vid out on my video card and run it to my TV at 1024x768. It is great because my TV is in the center of the room and I have it hooked up so the music is running through the surround. Enhances any party, or relaxes you. Whatever your in the mood for.
I use the WinXP Media Player plug-in version when listening to music usually.
The stand-alone I'll play with regardless of whether there's music on or whether I'm working on something on one monitor with the stand-alone doing its own thing without music on the other monitor. (Although, I guess that technically the stand-alone is always driven by "music" using one of its canned sound generators if it's not getting an external feed.) In either case I'll often turn off the slideshows and mix my own configs. Regardless of music or no music and slideshows on or off, I can never resist watching for killer screenshots, then giving the files weird names and putting them into the desktops folder.
I just wish there was a way to easily capture the current config components electronically with the screenshot.
One of the things that impresses me most (after the mind-blowing graphics design experience) is the quality of the image, specifically the absence of virtually any pixellation. It seems as if the effective internal resolution is like 10Kx10K dpi. Andy, how do you do that?
Btw, thanks. It's become one of life's 'simple' pleasures. Each version seems perfect because I've never seen anything like it before....and then the next version is even better!

Well, it's been a while, but here are some pics and the details again:
266Mhz Beige G3, 512 MB RAM, Mac OS X 10.3.9, G-Force 3.55 - yes, 3.5x "requires" a G4
