The author claims this is the "original":

> ElectroPortis is a Windows version of ElectroPaint, the only screensaver. This is the real deal. It is not a clone, nor a reimplementation, nor a product of manual reverse engineering. It was made by running the original binary through a custom MIPS to C decompiler.

but later, says that it's the OpenGL version and links to these words:

> During my time at SGI I rewrote Electropaint to use OpenGL instead of IrisGL and it wasn't quite the same afterwards (I removed the control UI since the panels toolkit wasn't making the journey and I must have broken the random seed...).

Wouldn't be such a pedant normally, but if you're going to make such a fuss about it being the "original," don't contradict yourself on the same page...

I'm reasonably certain that the drawing routines are the same, apart from the translation to OpenGL. The author of the OpenGL translation showed up in this thread, actually: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7700340
