Hi all,
Due to poular demand, and thanks to the energy I
picked up in Oregon this weekend, I whipped up a
non-After Dark version of the screen saver I advertised
here last week. It's available at gdead.berkeley.edu
in /pub/gdead/ibm/eyelidmv.zip (Thanks to Chris Kirby
for suggesting that I call it "Eyelid Movies" instead
of "Crazy String") The After Dark version has been
renamed, it is now called ILIDMVAD.ZIP in the same
place.
In case you missed it last week, this is a psychedelic
screen saver that I figure fellow Deadheads would appreciate.
I intend to distribute it widely, but wanted to show
it to yinz first, since this is the only newsgroup I
read on a regular basis. You NEED to have a PC-compatible
running MS-Windows with *256* colors.
To run it, unzip everything and place the contents into
your windows directory.Then with the control panel, change
the screen saver in the desktop screen to "Eyelid Movies"
ODC: funny t-shirt seen at Eugene:
FRONT:
Beavis: "huh huh.. Dark Star Rules huh huh..."
Butthead: "huh yeah, Dark Star Kicks Butt, huh huh.."
BACK: they are waving their fists in the air a-la metalheads
and in big letters: "DA DA DA DA"
"DA DA DA DA"
Again, I'll mail anyone this stuff if they can't get
it via FTP. The non-AD version is quite long, though
(171421 bytes) Say whether you need the AD or non-AD version.
Enjoy!
Ben

Thanks Mark!
OK: imagine this: There are two lines, with reflections in
each quadrant for a total of 8 lines. At first, it is pretty
much a standard "moire" or "string" program, with each of the
endpoints having an acceleration & velocity. The acceleration
is always the opposite of the velocity, so the lines curve
around. The cool psychedelic twist is the colors. I
constantly rotate the palette so that the colors move: imagine
ribbons flowing through space... And then the kicker: the
palettes are constantly blending from one color scheme to
the next, linearly interpolating between the two.
If you can find a PC with windows, check it out!
The one with "AD" in the title is for After Dark, made
by Berkeley Systems, and the other one is a generic
Windows screen saver.
Thanks again!
Ben
