Is this not the coolest tool ever? Sure it's limited to little more than effects and screen savers, but it's so much fun to play with! It took me like ten minutes to make an X-files screen saver. Now that's just cool.

Can it be controlled by cocoa code? Like, can you make a fully-featured game that uses this technology?

Yes. See /System/Library/Frameworks/Quartz.framework/Frameworks/QuartzComposer.framework/Headers/QCRenderer.h and QCView.h.

Thanks, OSC, aarku, I'll look forward to playing with it. The interface is so neat, it almost doesn't matter what it's for!

Hey Jesse! It's Andrew Garber!

Hey, it totally is!
