Hi everyone.

I was watching this:

YouTube - SmackBook

and saw that the guy was playing around with a liquid simulator thing at the end. does anyone know what its called? i'd like to download and play with it. i know it isnt splash (one like that that uses the SMS), because he is controlling it with the trackpad.

thanks,
kick

Look through the first comments to be posted there.
I noticed this, but I am not sure if it helps you.

Ok... first get AMSTracker (http://www.osxbook.com/software/sms/amstracker/). I ganked this first from elsewhere as a rough draft. I use YouControl Desktop to control desktop switching (shift+control+option+command+f). Get this script (http://www.no-rulz.net/screenswitch.py). Put AMS and the screenswitch.py in the same folder and run this ./AMSTracker -u 0.1 -s | python screenswitch.py
With any luck it should run

Nice, Xaositek! That's almost exactly what I did (well, I used Desktop Manager and Perl). The blog post referenced in the video itself should be up RSN.

make a folder on your desktop called "amstracker" inside of that folder should be AMSTracker, COPYRIGHT.txt, LICENSE.txt, screenswitch.py, WARRANTY.txt. Then ./AMSTracker -u 0.1 -s | python screenswitch.py you will might have to change the keystrokes it issues (control, option, command, shift, f) by default but can be easily changed in the script. You will not see any visual changes, just give your computer a nice tap and it will change. Send me a message if you have problems.

I think the original poster was referring to a piece of software visible on the screen of the laptop, not the Smackbook thing itself.
