*------------------------------------* | Squiggly! | | | | An Extend-O-Save Module for Warp 9 | | | | Version 1.1 | | | | ½ 1993 CodeHead Technologies | | by Charles F. Johnson | *------------------------------------* Squiggly! displays interesting (some might say "unsettling") patterns on your screen by plotting "tiles" at random positions. It requires Warp 9 v3.80 or higher to function as a screensaver, but you can run it without Warp 9 in a special "demonstration mode" by renaming it to SQUIGGLY.PRG and launching it just as you would any other program. If you use CodeHead's HotWire program launching utility, there's no need to rename it; you can run Squiggly! as a program simply by clicking the "Running Man" icon and selecting SQUIGGLY.EXT. Squiggly! is completely resolution-independent, and will work in all screen modes on ST, TT, or Falcon computers. Demonstration Mode ------------------ When you run Squiggly! as a program (in other words, in demonstration mode) you can view it and play with its options for two minutes. When Squiggly! is loaded as a screensaver module by Warp 9, it normally saves configuration changes automatically when you exit by clicking the OK button. However, when run in demonstration mode Squiggly! does not save your changes. Configuration Options --------------------- SPEED: Four settings, from very slow (1) to quite fast (4). CLEAR: Since parts of Squiggly!'s display remain static (i.e. the intersections of the arcs), the screen is cleared periodically to prevent burn-in. (This is supposed to be a "screensaver," after all.) You can set Squiggly! to clear the screen at intervals of 30 seconds, 3 minutes, or 10 minutes. Please note that the configuration box also has a question mark button, located in the upper right corner. Click this button to see a page of information about the module. Version 1.1 ----------- This version of Squiggly! fixes a problem in some Falcon screen modes, which caused an inverted display. Also, version 1.1 can now save its configuration even if the file is renamed to something other than SQUIGGLY.EXT. If You Don't Have it Yet... --------------------------- ...then you need Warp 9, the feature-packed graphics acceleration utility that contains a modular screensaver similar to After Dark (tm). The Warp 9 package comes on two disks, includes dozens of interesting and entertaining screensaver modules, and sells for only $44.95 retail. You can buy it at your favorite dealer (make sure to ask for version 3.80) or directly from CodeHead Technologies. A press release documenting the many new features in Warp 9 v3.80 has been distributed through the electronic media. Owners of previous versions of Warp 9 can upgrade to v3.80 by sending their original disk, $25 for the upgrade, plus $3 shipping (4$ Canada, $6 overseas) to: CodeHead Technologies Voice: (213) 386-5735 P.O.
