FRD - A Java Screensaver

This screensaver works on both Windows and Unix systems, with a recent version of Sun's Java installed (see the system requirements, below).

The screensaver simulates a simple ecology, with ducks, flies and dung. It's fun to watch and you can experiment with the way the creatures behave. It was developed with Mark Roth's excellent SaverBeans pack, which is a Java Desktop Project
