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, and liblua. 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.
