TITLE
EyeCandy02 - Generates various designs:
Spirograph(tm?) simulator of the spiral-drawing toy,
"YarnBall", "CircleStar", "RotoBoxes", "RotoAngle"
and "PolyGen". Simple, fun and addictive!
VERSION
This is version 02 which replaces EyeCandy01.
See "NEW FEATURES" below for enhancements.
COMPANY
No company, just an AMINET upload by "yours truly".
AUTHOR
EyeCandy02 was written by me, Chuck Kenney. My particulars
(address, etc.) are included in the user document in the archive.
DESCRIPTION
EyeCandy02 generates various "eye candy" designs. Currently these
are: "SpiroDraw", "YarnBall", "CircleStar", "RotoBoxes", "RotoAngle"
and "PolyGen". Future releases of EyeCandy will likely have more
designs programmed in. "SpiroDraw" simulates the Wheels-and-Rings-
and-Pens SPIROGRAPH drawing toy. "YarnBall" ... well generates designs
that look like balls of yarn. "CircleStar" generates designs that look
like 3D checkerboard stars. "RotoBoxes" generates "spirally, tunnelly"
designs by rotating squares about a central axis, "RotoAngle" is a
bit like "RotoBoxes" but uses lines and angles instead of squares.
"PolyGen" generates "tunnelly" designs using concentric polygons.
"EyeCandy" Allows the user to specify different values for many of
the parameters which dictate the sizes and shapes of the designs -
"Drawing Wheels, Drawing Rings", number of "YarnBall" spokes, sizes
and angles of change, etc. There is also a "Random" function for
each design. The use of a computer to generate the various SpiroDraw
and other designs actually enhances some of the capabilities!
"EyeCandy02" is all mouse-driven (MENUs, GADGETs, etc.).
It is a fun _and_ addictive program! .. but I'm biased, of course!
EyeCandy02.lha also contains a very nice little freely distributable
"screen-to-IFF" saver utility by Preben Nielsen (thanks, Preben) so
that "EyeCandy" designs can be imported into and animated with
"paint" programs.
"EyeCandy" is shareware but does not nag the user in any way (except
if the user selects the "About" MENU item) and all features are fully
functional.
NEW FEATURES
Three new design generator functions were added to EyeCandy02:
"RotoBoxes", "RotoAngle" and "PolyGen". Many improvements have
also been made to the user interface. EyeCandy02 has also been
compiled under a new version of the compiler, "ACE" by David Benn,
which enabled further enhancement and enjoyment of the user-
interface in terms of look, feel and functionality.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
There are no special requirements that I know of.
EyeCandy02 has been tested on an Amiga 2000HD (OS 2.1)
and an Amiga 1000 (OS 1.3).
HOST NAME
EyeCandy02.lha has been uploaded to the AMINET site,
ftp.etsu.edu (192.43.199.20) and is also available on
all other AMINET sites.
DIRECTORY
EyeCandy02.lha and EyeCandy02.readme reside in the
"aminet/gfx/misc" directory.
FILE NAMES
EyeCandy02.lha is 80,331 bytes long.
PRICE
The asking shareware price is the amount sent to me by my first
shareware contributor to SpiroDraw, EyeCandy's predecessor.
This requested shareware fee is $5.00 (US), in the hope that
many little sharewares will add up to more than a few bigger ones!
DISTRIBUTABILITY
This program is freely distributable as long as the documentation
accompanies the program but is a copyrighted (1994) shareware
program by me, Chuck Kenney. If this program is included in any
CD-ROM collection, I ask that a copy of the CD-ROM be sent to me.
OTHER
EyeCandy02, and other programs in progress are coming out of my
basement as a result of the availability of a truly wonderful
"BASIC-but-much-more!" compiler, "ACE" by David Benn. I would
like to sincerely thank Mr. Benn for renewing my enthusiasm in
programming and for making it possible for me to make my programs
available to more than just my friends and immediately family!
