AgBlankers - New, unique blankers for the Garshneblanker package
----------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides five new blankers for Garshneblanker 3.6:
* Mathematical figures like Lissajous, but much better
* Iterated function systems (inspired by "fire" for xlock)
* Cube Art like the mondrian demo
* A fast simulation of waterfalls
* Important lamps like seen in Star Trek and other movies
The behavior of all the blankers can be modified by the standard
Preference system Garshneblanker offers.
Since blankers are no big programs the archive contains separate
binaries for MC68000, MC68020, MC68030, MC68040. No special FPU
versions, however.
The blankers include full source code (SAS/C), a manual and even
demo pictures for a first look.
Of course, all the contents of this archive are PD.
Version 1.1 fixes two problems:
1. I included different prefs files for the 68000 and the 68020/30/40
versions meeting the different performances of different processors.
Unfortunately these prefs files contained information about the
screenmode to use. Therefore, everyone who had no DblNTSC installed
on his 020/030/040 machine only got a black screen. This version
includes no prefs files. Because of this You have to experiment
a bit in order to get an appropriate set of parameters. Thanks to
Colin Thompson and Arthur Hagen for notifying me of this problem.
2. Fixed a serious bug in "water" found by Roberto Patriarca:
When the system wasn't idling, the blanker would crash. The cause was
that I inserted code between the initialization routine and the test
if this routine succeeded that used (not necessarily) initialized
data giving a division by zero error if Garshneblanker aborted Water
during its initialization routine.
Thanks, ...., for the very precise bug report. It made it a question
of minutes to find the bug.
