The CIRC.ARC file contains two executables (sorry, no icons):
Circ_1 ............ Move the mouse SLOWLY around the screen.
Try starting below and to the right of
the big circle.
Move the mouse, then let it come to
rest. You see, you're generating an
enormous amount of MOUSEMOVES so watch
what happens when the Amiga starts to
catch up!
There are spots on the screen that are
"in tune" and other spots that are
"out of tune"!
Don't forget to click the mouse from
time to time...just to scramble things
some more.
All the screen gadgets are there. You
just can't see them.
* To QUIT:
1) Move the pointer over on top
of the CLOSE gadget (extreme upper-
left hand corner of window).
2) Wait 'til the circle becomes a solid
color.
3) Click the left mouse button.
4) If it doesn't work, try again.
Remember, the mouse must be still
for this maneuver, both before and
after the click.
Circ_2 ............ This one, too, thrives on MOUSEMOVES.
This time, the Amiga is taking the
'X' and 'Y' coordinates of where you've
moved the mouse to and is turning those
numbers into a unique multi-colored
pattern.
To complicate matters, we're generating
random APen, BPen and OPens each time
a circle is drawn.
Click the mouse to change the 32 color
table.
Hit any key to freeze/unfreeze the display.
Try moving the mouse to the left-hand
extreme of the window and/or the upper
extreme of the window. This will
generate a low x/y number and, hence,
a relatively simple pattern.
Again, all the screen gadgets are there
including the CLOSE GADGET.
So, click on the invisible CLOSE GADGET
to QUIT.
It may be best if you turn out the lights for these.
And, if you're so inclined, a Dead tape might be in order.
