Electric Sheep

Electric Sheep

Electric Sheep is a collaborative volunteer computing project that uses a genetic algorithm to animate and evolve fractal flames. The generated animations are downloaded to networked computers and displayed as a screensaver. Created by programmer and software artist Scott Draves in 1999, the project harnesses the idle processing power of hundreds of thousands of computers to form a distributed render farm.

Electricity

Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter possessing an electric charge. Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations. Common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others.

Sheep

Sheep or domestic sheep are a domesticated ruminant mammal typically kept as livestock. Although the term sheep can apply to other species in the genus Ovis, in everyday usage it almost always refers to domesticated sheep. Like all ruminants, sheep are members of the order Artiodactyla, the even-toed ungulates. There are around 1.2 billion domestic sheep as of 2019, making them easily the most common species of sheep. An adult female is referred to as a ewe ; an intact male as a ram, occasionally a tup; a castrated male as a wether; and a young sheep as a lamb.
