JEyes Version 2.0
JEyes (pronounced 'jies') is an Amiga version of XEyes, with a lot
of personal additions, I've never played with the X version, but I
thought it would be a neat hack...
JEyes opens a sizable window on the Workbench screen containing a pair
of eyes which follow the cursor about the screen. That's it - nothing
very productive here!
JEyes V2.0 is a Workbench 2.0 (V37+) only application. If properly
convinced, I may make it 1.3 compatible, but not right now.
Operation:
JEyes' operation is fairly configurable, with both Workbench tooltypes
and CLI parameters supported. Current modifiers are:
LeftEdge Initial window left position
TopEdge Initial window top position
Width Initial window width (subject to minimum limitiation)
Height Initial window height (subject to minimum limitiation)
WindowTitle Override of window title
NoCloseGadget Window cannot be closed (nasty, nasty)
DontScalePupil Always uses small pupil
EyeCount Not all beings have *2* eyes!
Workbench tooltypes:
Any of the above modifiers may be specified in the tools icon.
'NoCloseGadget' and 'DontScalePupil' modifiers need no setting; the
other modifiers may be specified in either of the following formats:
"modifier=<setting>" or "modifier <setting>"
If the WindowTitle setting contains more than one word, it must be
enclosed in single quotes. All other modifiers expect integer settings.
CLI parameters:
All modifiers may be specified on the command line with the format
"modifier=<setting>"
WindowTitle cannot include spaces when specified from the CLI.
Future direction:
I'm open to suggestions concerning additions to JEyes. It's currently
simple enough that I can treat it as an interesting diversion from my
primary obligations, so give me something to add.
Thanks to:
Pat Brouillette for the NoCloseGadget idea.
Chris Nicotra for the XEyes source, and the trig discussions. ;-)
