From Terry Walsh (http://reallyslick.com): "This is a very mesmerizing particle effects saver. Tweak the settings a little and you'll find that you can achieve an amazing number of different patterns. You can also connect the particles with lines for a very different effect."Ported to Linux by Tugrul Galatali.
