About

Qosmic is graphical interface for creating, editing, and rendering flam3 fractal images. The electricsheep screen saver has been gaining popularity, and Qosmic was developed to provide a Qt interface for people interested in creating and contributing sheep.

How to try it

There are a few GNU/Linux distributions that have pre-built packages, so you should check if one exists for your distribution first.

If you can't find a package, aren't a linux person, or you just really want to compile, then you will first need to have Qt4, flam3, libxml2, liblua, and libjpeg installed on your system. For most of the popular GNU/Linux distributions you will need to have the cooresponding 'dev' packages installed as well.

• Download and unpack the source archive file.
• Change into the source directory and run the ./build.sh script
• Type ./qosmic when the build process finishes
• Study the README file for tips on usage, or if you have a problem building.
