Short: Matrix Screen Blanker
Uploader: Casey Douglass <c.douglass@connectfree.co.uk>
Author: Casey Douglass <c.douglass@connectfree.co.uk>
Requires: Courier Font (Should be on Workbench)
Version: 1.0
Type: util/wb
Distribution: Any
Description:
I thought that it would be cool to have some sort of screen saver that
looked like my Amiga was part of the Matrix so I wrote this one.
I didnt bargain on some of the problems I had to navigate though.
Requirements:
* Courier Font in Workbench Fonts draw.
* The palette file must be in the same directory as the main file.
* I would guess a 68020+ as it runs nicely on my 68040 but I`m not sure about
slower systems.
Usage:
Just double click icon in workbench.
You will be asked to enter the time that must elapse before the blanker
comes into operation. This must be entered in seconds. e.g 120 for 2 mins.
When the blanker activates, clicking the left mouse button will cancel the
screen but the program will remain running.
Pressing the right mouse button will exit the program.
Limitations:
The blanker monitors mouse movement at the moment. When the mouse is still
for the entered amount of time, the blanker activates.
The blanker is fully dependant on the mouse movement.
Unfortunately I do not know how to have it monitor keyboard events yet.
I programmed it in Blitz2. If anyone could help, I would be greatfull.
Long live the Amiga!!!
