SYNTH is a new alternative video game for a high-end MS windows PC's. SYNTH was designed and developed by Rhys Paul Hovey. In it's current version (0.909) it has been over a year in the making. SYNTH is 100% mathematically / procedurally generated. This means that for all of SYNTH's graphics and levels, there is a mathematical function or process from which it was made, making it a very difficult game to program, and in the end quite scalable and unusual. Typically the graphics in a video game are "modeled" by artists with mouse and pen-like touch pads. Everything in SYNTH has a mathematical / algorithmic representation.
I get around 3-9 fps perhaps one of Kj's highend systems can do it justice,. .
Even at that frame rate I do see that there is a lot of very interesting stuff going on,. give it a look This did inspire me to add more sparks and noise to my Locust project,. .
In the fall of 1972 President Nixon announced that the rate of increase of inflation was decreasing. This was the first time a sitting president used the third derivative to advance his case for reelection.

ok, I'm disappointed...
:/ the game itself is <200 kb so it's fine... But whoa... no way! I can't play it decently with 2 GB ram and 7900 with 256 megs... And I feel it's a little clumpsy :/
Really I prefere the ones generated by our fella JPH
