XScreenSaver 5.06 out now. Only one new hack this time, but it's a fine one, if I do say so myself. Also this includes a bunch of fixes related to adding, removing and resizing monitors (RANDR/Xinerama) on X11 systems, as I mentioned earlier. So please stress-test that junk. Or be devoured.

tentacle post useless without youtube video clips.
you sir, are to be congratulated on your tentacular achievement.
Awesome! It's sort of distracting that the tentacles intersect each other sometimes, though.
Seconded on the intersecting tentacles thing. Although I guess the nameless ones have little use for our petty laws of physics. Great idea, and highly likely to wind up as my default screen saver.
Non-Euclidean geometry.
Awesome, a new release. *downloads source*
tentacles are awesome, but cause the load to spike on my macbook pro (10.5.4, 2.4GHz, 2GB). hadn't seen this usage on any of the other savers before, testing some others to see if i can duplicate the trouble.
skytentacles may be the best hack you've ever written.
But yes, the intersecting limbs look a bit odd.
I was also disappointed not to be sent into unrecoverable madness when I dragged the tentacles from the corner of the window into the middle and instead of seeing something that even lovecraft never envisioned, saw only the disembodied stumps of the tentacles. How do they devour?
Rotate your head 90° from everything else, and squint. HTH.
