evolvotron (http://www.bottlenose.demon.co.uk/share/evolvotron/index.htm) is a very cool "generative art" program with an intuitive interface: images evolve to the next generation, then you simply click on the image that you like, and that takes you to the next generation. You can get all sorts of weird and cool textures and even animations from evolvotron. Also, I like to use it as a sort of benchmark for system performance, like set up an animation grid and see how long it takes or if the system can handle it in realtime.

To compile evolvotron on Hoary, you will need to install these packages:

gcc
g++
qt3-apps-dev

define QTDIR /usr/share/qt3 however that is done in your preferred shell eg.

sh:
QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
export QTDIR

tcsh:
setenv QTDIR /usr/share/qt3
