NixieClock Screen Saver

About

Back in 2002 we hat the stupid idea of creating an nixie clock...a little while later I made this screen saver. It was last updated 2010, which meant that the 1.0b version won't run on modern OS X like 10.10 Yosemite. On 4th of march 2016 talked about nixies with my fellow colleague Knut, which inspired me to do some refactoring.

  • Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite
