- 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.
