- Short: Assembler random wb backdrop prog (that now works;-)
- Author: jay@blidworth.demon.co.uk (Jason Frecknall)
- Uploader: jay@blidworth.demon.co.uk (Jason Frecknall)
- Type: util/wb
- Replaces: Util/WB/RandomPic.lha
-
- Here is yet another random wb picture program. I wrote this because not one of the 4
- other programs I downloaded off Aminet worked how I wanted them too, some of them simply
- copied a random picture to another file which you picked as your backdrop, hardly the
- most efficient way.
-
- My program creates a new wbpattern.prefs in ENV: with a random backdrop picked from a
- list of files and then quits. Only the filename is altered, any options set (e.g. with
- FastWBPattern) won`t be touched.
-
- Since this program was coded in assembler, it is much smaller than similar programs and
- it also supports changing of the backdrop at any time - just run the program again.
- The program itself is less than 1k.
-
- V1.1 Fixed problem with changing backdrops caused by file format assumptions.
- Improved and optimised random number routine (~50% smaller).
- Name changed to RandyPic upon finding another program with the name of
- RandomPic in a different dir on Aminet.
