Short: Mod. Screen Saver, version 1.1
Author: Carsten Jahn, Aicke Schulz
Uploader: Martin Schulze (schulze@phil.uni-sb.de)
Type: util/blank
Version: 1.1
Madhouse is a modular screen saver like superdark. We tried to make the
main program (the 'server') more configurable and to program nicer
blankers - here is the result, we hope you like it!
To Madhouse belongs:
- 16 wonderful blankers. All are based on inovative ideas, or an old
ideas with new functions. The well-known Stars are zooming, rotating
and shifting through space. The FlyingToasters were not drawn in two
colors, but in 16 hires-laced and are very near to the AfterDark-ones.
The Soccer blanker shows you a soccer game. Included are also blankers
which don't waste CPU performance, like Skyline, showing a big city
at night. Please look at all of them yourself!
- a background program ("Madhouse") and a config editor ("MadhouseConfig-
Ed"). Madhouse has itself no graphical interface and controls the
whole system, starts blankers and starts the MadhouseConfigEd.
MadhouseConfigEd uses MUI (⌐ Stefan Stunz) if possible, otherwise it
uses a normal Intuition interface. Here you can configurate every
Blanker, set a soundmodule and how long it should blank; select the
blankers which should be used, enter a password and enable a special
feature: if you want so, Madhouse checks the CPU before starting a
blanker. If your computer is doing a complex calculation (e.g. compi-
ling or raytracing), Madhouse runs no blanker at all or a blanker that
uses nearly no CPU performance.
The "Buffering" option is very useful for user without hard disk.
- a comprehensive documentation, explaining every detail of Madhouse,
the ConfigEd and the blankers. The doc includes a description how to
write an own blanker (this can be done in EVERY language!).
I hope you are interested in this archive at this point... time for the
german .readme:
-----
Madhouse ist eine modulare Screenblaner wie z.B. Superdark. Wir wollten
ein Hauptprogramm mit vielen Einstellungsm÷glichkeiten und gute Blanker
schreiben, hier ist das Resultat.
Zu Madhouse geh÷ren:
- 16 wundersch÷ne Blanker, teils alte Ideen mit neuen Features, teils
v÷llig innovativ und neu. Die bekannten Stars rotieren, zoomen und
fliegen Kurven, die fliegenden Toasters sind 16-farbig und kommen denen
aus AfterDark sehr nahe. Auch ein Fu▀ballspiel zum zusehen ist vor-
handen! Au▀erdem sind Blanker dabei, die den Computer kaum beanspruchen,
z.B. Skyline (zeigt eine gro▀e Stadt bei Nacht).
- das Hintergrund-Programm "Madhouse" und der Einstellungseditor
"MadhouseConfigEd". Madhouse selbst hat so gut wie keine graphische
OberflΣche, steuert das gesamte System und startet die Blanker.
Der MadhouseConfigEd nutzt MUI (⌐ Stefan Stunz) wenn vorhanden, sonst
ein normales Intuition-Interface. Hier kann jeder Blanker konfiguriert
werden, es kann auch ein Soundmodul zugeordnet werden, und wie lange
der Blanker laufen soll. Wer das m÷chte, kann ein Pa▀wort benutzen.
Ebenfalls kann Madhouse vor dem Start eines Blankers nachsehen, ob der
Prozessor mit z.B. einem Raytracingbild belastet ist. Dann wird auf
Wunsch ein simplerer Blanker oder gar keiner gestartet. Mit der
"Buffering"-Option wird Madhouse auch fⁿr User ohne Festplatte nutz-
bar.
- eine ausfⁿhrliche Anleitung, die jedes Detail erlΣutert - auch, wie
man selbst Blanker erstellen kann, dies kann in jeder Programmier-
sprache geschehen!
- einen madhouse.catalog, damit die Bildschirmtexte ab OS 2.1 auf
deutsch erscheinen.
