Description:
-------------------------------
This screen-saver takes a snapshot of your desktop and projects it into a 3D
world, where it is dissected into an arbitrary number of explosions.
Particle systems are also an optional effect to add to the explosions.
There are also modes where it will run a wave through your 3D screen,
giving it a cool wave effect.  Almost every option is user-changeable,
including animation support which allows the screen to rotate on all three axis
and zoom in and out.  The wave options will require some tweaking if you will
be using this at a resolution different then 1024x768.

Please Note:  Using texture sizes larger than 512x512 will cause delay in
screen-saver startup, please be patient.  Also, there is no advantage of
having your texture size larger then your desktop resolution.

Unzip into your Windows\ or WinNT\ directory, and select it under display properties.
