HERMES' CYCLER (Version 1.2)
Copyright (c) 1988 A. G. Kartsatos
*** What is new? This version will support OVERSCAN and will show all
the pictures saved with my new program HERMiT. You can also close the screen
now by clicking anywhere into it. The rest of the program is exactly Version
1.1. I am planning to write an advanced cycler program that will cycle any
colors in any given order. ***
Already Version 1.1! Well, it looks like a color cycler is needed
pretty badly. Here it is. It will view IFF-ILBM pictures and will cycle
all resolutions of 8, 16, or 32 colors. It will not cycle pictures of
less than 8 colors. It will not cycle a HAM-IFF picture (Screen Depth 6).
I have totally changed Version 1.0. I am now using a Bitmap and the
ClipBlit function.
Cycling is done in 3 DIFFERENT SPEEDS and 2 DIFFERENT MODES.
FOR YOU, IMPATIENT USERS: To EXIT the program CLICK into the screen's
UPPER LEFT-HAND CORNER.
TO USE IT: Assume that you want to see and/or cycle the picture VIBES.
FROM CLI:
PRESS: CYCLER VIBES or RUN CYCLER VIBES to see the picture.
FROM WORKBENCH:
Make a Project Icon like the ones Deluxe Paint creates. Assume that
CYCLER is in your VD0:c directory. Flash the icon on the WorkBench and
in the gadget DEFAULT TOOL enter: VD0:c/CYCLER. In the gadget TOOLTYPES
enter TOOLTYPE=ILBM. Call the Icon VIBES.info.
Now, suppose that you want to see and cycle the picture VIBES. Click
into its icon, and voila!!!
IN EITHER CASE:
(1) While the picture is on, PRESS: the "1", "2", or "3" KEY to CYCLE it
at the corresponding speed. THESE ARE NOT THE F-KEYS!!!
(2) While the cycling is on, PRESS: the TAB KEY to STOP the CYCLING.
(3) While the picture is on, PRESS: the "R" KEY to REVERSE-CYCLE it.
To see the REVERSE CYCLING, apply (1) above. Thus, the "R" key
actually toggles between straight and reverse cycling.
(4) While the picture is on, CLICK into it (anywhere) to close it.
It works best on pictures with 32 colors. Get CONTOURA.ARC! You can
make beautiful sets of colors with its FLOWING PALETTE!
Have fun.
