First, the thanks:
Thanks for these screen savers RWO
I'm surprised that we haven't had more screen blanker modules created for the new system so this is a nice list.
A couple of ideas:
The speed of the new "3D" looking blankers. I always like to run a screen blanker at the same resolution a my Workbench. Seeing GLQuake & WipeOut 2097 (Quick examples) run at the speeds they run, I'm certain that we can have smoother savers in 3D at higher resolutions. Is the speed down to the original code not exactly being optimised for the OS?
With the "Scale" option that you have in a few of the blankers. Have you considered using Overlay for that? I'd see this as a quick fix to just getting the blankers to use the same screenmode as Workbench but saving in the slowdown when resizing.
Blanker options:
I'd like to see more blankers 'changing' as they go, rather than using the settings entered & staying like that. For example, the maze blanker. How about having a Min & Max size so each time the maze starts again, it'd pick a random size between those settings. The black hole; How about if that, every so often, speeds up & slows down, or reverses rather than staying the same all the time.
I could go on, I've had loads of ideas in the past where people have used them but not give me any credit for the suggestion (Excluding Alexw & Bean) so I'll leave it at that unless you'd like to hear more... Hope you get the idea though
Lastly, nice blanker list there.
Thanks again, FuZion.
