FlowerPower, version 0.05
© Ben Summers 1993
Hello.
This module is pointless.
It draws flowers on the screen. (and on the printed page if you're printing
while it's active) Pretty, but pretty pointless, I'm sure you'll agree.
I've supplied the source code to it so you can see how it works - it is
FULLY commented. Notes about it are also in the source code - and a list of
things demonstrated is also in there.
You will notice that flowers are drawn even outside the desktop... the
beauty of interrupt code you see.
Right, on the use of the thing... you load it. It draws flowers.
It's controlled by the *command FlowerPower (press F12 to get to the
command line). The syntax of the command is given in the help message...
press F12 and type 'Help FlowerPower' and press RETURN. Some examples...
FlowerPower 32 64 (draw flowers at intervals of between 32 and 64
seconds)
FlowerPower 32 64 128 256 (draw flowers at intervals of between 32 and 64
seconds, of size between 128 and 256)
FlowerPower -delay 100 (start drawing flowers again after 100 seconds)
FlowerPower -mouse 1 (draw a flower wherever the mouse is clicked)
FlowerPower -mouse 0 (don't draw a flower wherever the mouse is
clicked)
FlowerPower -fill 1 (draw filled flowers)
Of couse, you can combine these commands...
To get rid off it, type
RMkill FlowerPower
Disclaimer... if this program crashes your machine, then don't hassle me.
It's not a serious program, so I don't suppose you're going to run it while
doing anything important. Having said that, you shouldn't have any problems
with it. I have run it on all versions of RISC OS.
When you distribute this, you must also distribute the source code and the
other files. Basically, only distrubute this archive, and do not modify or
delete any of the contents.
If for some reason you'd like to contact me (large sums of money and cars
{especially VW Beetles} are always welcome) my address is
