This FKEY is a poor man’s screen saver. It displays shaded balls in color, grays, or b&w, depending on the monitor. Approximately 60 circles are drawn per second. Random ball sizes are used unless the caps lock key is down. Every 15 seconds the screen is cleared to black and a new ball size is randomly chosen (25-80 pixels). If the control key is down when the FKEY is called, ball shading is reversed. It should work correctly on any Mac, even on Macs that have b&w and color monitors.
Press any key (except the caps lock and power on keys), click, move the mouse, or insert a disk to end the FKEY.
Install this FKEY like you would any other; use ResEdit or Resourcerer to place it in the System file, open it with Suitcase II, etc. It is currently ID 9 (making the trigger command-shift-9), but you can always renumber it using a resource editor like ResEdit or Resourcerer.
Think Pascal source is included. It may be of some use to someone. It does illustrate a conditional compilation technique that makes testing FKEYs pretty easy.
I've _already_ written module versions of Fuzzy Balls for After Dark, Pyro!, and Sunset screen savers. They should be publicly available soon. Please do not write and distribute any more…
