- BRICKLAYER version 1.1a
-
- An After Dark (Windows) module.
-
- This software is freely distributable, provided no fee is charged for
- distribution or use. Charges for media duplication, handling, etc... must
- not exceed a reasonable amount based on the media used. The author accepts
- no responsibility for making sure this works on your machine, or anything
- else! Distributed copies must contain this readme file.

- Contents are copyright (C) 1993 by Roger Theriault, all rights reserved.
-
- To install, copy the BRICKS.AD file to your After Dark directory.
-
- The saver should work in 16-color mode and has been tested on a 386DX-25
- with a Trident 8900C display adapter under "standard" 640x480 256-color
- mode. Bricks are 16-colors. Works with MultiModule (for neat effects).
-
- The brick laying speed is configurable, as is the type of brick. If you
- select a particular brick, it will be laid and then, once the wall is up,
- another identical wall is built in front of it (useful to know if you
- use MultiModule). If RANDOM is selected, a new brick will be used for
- each successive wall.

- CHANGES
-
- v1.0 (Feb. 8, 1993)
- - initial version
-
- v1.1 (Feb. 21, 1993)
- - Blank Screen First now blanks the screen before each wall.
- - GPFs would occur with small bricks on large displays (1200x1024, etc...)
- due to a silly lack of range checking. Fixed, and more memory was also
- allocated for small bricks. If a problem occurs, "starry night" should
- display.
-
- v1.1a (Mar. 3, 1993)
- - v1.1 introduced a bug which consumes GDI resources. This bug was
- caused by using the RESTART_ME return value of AD, which is buggy.
- Problem has been corrected and there is no resource "leakage".
-
-
-
- Suggestions, ideas for other savers, bug reports, etc... are welcome!
- This saver was created using Borland C++ 3.1 and source code is available
- on request. Also tell me if you like this saver (not as cool as flying
- toasters, I know), and send bricks!
