- This program saves the screen from burn by displaying a random
- vector pattern every few seconds. The design of the vector pattern and the
- color of the design are chosen at Random. The functions to calculate the
- drawing of the vector pattern are static, and were implemented at compile
- time. This allows for a fast redraw each time the screen is refreshed. The
- result is a neat demo, that saves your screen from burn at the same time! It
- HIGHLY resembles the X-Stringart routines on a Sun workstation, and in fact
- the displays are the same for all intents and purposes[ except that most
- Suns are in black and white, as are their String Art routines. :) ] In the
- current implementation, you must spawn a process to run the screen saver.
- If there is sufficient interest, I will write it as a desk accesory so that
- it saves the screen as soon as the console goes idle. For now, just enjoy the
- designs!
