- What Is IvoView?
- ================
-
- IvoView is the coooolest screensaver of them all. It was the very first
- NEXTSTEP thing Ivo and I did, back when the first NeXTdimensions came
- out. We filmed Ivo's head, and captured via the ND, I doodled on it,
- then we modified "Globe" to show Ivo's demonic spinning head instead
- of the nice blue and green earth.
-
- If you have NEXTSTEP and color, this thing is a must. It looks best on
- 32bit hardware (which is why I haven't played with it since I left
- my ND behind until I got a #9GXE64 on a Pentium) but should look OK
- on 16bit hardware with the new modifications. I also added some
- stuff to bring it up to date with the latest BackSpace (it was written
- with the original BackSpace in mind).
-
- Download it, play with it, and scare your kids/parents/loved ones. ;-).
- Or better yet, plug it into your ND and put it on a big projection
- screen at christmas, er, Halloween ;-).

- ---------------------
-
- V1.1
-
- Changes:
-
- 1) lightened the images so they can be better viewed (esp. on 16bit)
- 2) added an inspector
- 3) added settable frames/second
- 4) LZWed all the TIFFs which saves a couple megs of disk space
-
-
- ------------------------
-
- V1.0
-
- Howdy.
-
- This is a disturbing screen saver that I made, using the code from GlobeView.
-
- All I did was to change the name of some variables, and supply the animation.
-
- Ivo supplied the video camera, and the head.
-
-
- If the images are too big for you (they are 32 bit colour) just open the
- Ivo.anim file by double clicking. This will open it in Icon.app. Choose
- "Save Animation As" from the Image menu cell. Choose 12 bit, or 4 bit or
- 2bit from the Save dialogue, and it will save the animation in that format,
- and save you some space.
-
-
- To make, just type make on the command line. You can move the IvoView.o
- and Ivo.anim into the BackSpace directory by hand, or try 'make install'
-
- Anyway, it was fun!
