In full-screen mode,SDL +should choose the best possible resolution according to the resolution you asked +for. For example, 640x300 will display a letter-box screen in 640x480. +See SDL section for more information about the scale factor. + +You don't need to be root to enter the full-screen mode. + +There is two different modes in this plug-in, the default mode is non-interactive: + +-Non-Interactive Mode: + +States and palettes are selected randomly, and change sometimes. + + Keys: + - Space: change effect. + - F12: change palette. + - Tab: toggle full-screen. + - Enter: switch to interactive mode. + - F11: screenshot + + +-Interactive Mode: + +You can control the effect: + + Keys: + + - F12: change palette. + - Tab: toggle full-screen. + - Enter: switch to non-interactive mode. + - F1-F10: choose transformation vector field + - a,z: change curve 1 lighting + - q,s: change curve 2 lighting + - e,r: change curve 1 amplitude + - d,f: change curve 2 amplitude + - w: change curve 2 type + - mouse: change curve 2 position + - F11: screensh +. + +Speed: +------ +Infinity need a smooth animation to be interesting. +To increase speed, you can: +-compile with pgcc and full (-O6) optimisations. +-use low resolutions and letter box effect. +In 320x160, it should run on a small pentiums. + +SDL: +---- +You must have installed a recent version of SDL(>=1.0.6) to run this program. +If you experience problems with SDL, refer to their documentation first. +If you cannot obtain low resolutions, you should add them to the +screen section of your /etc/XF86Config (you can use your X configurator +instead of editing it yourself). If and only if you cannot change your +XF86Config, you can change the scale factor in the preference menu. But +the program will be much slower. + +Known Bugs: +----------- +Your X has to be at least in 16 bpp to make this program work. If you have more +than 16 bpp, it should work but may be very slow. If you still use a 8 bpp X, +mail me, I would really like to know if an implementation of it could interest +somebody. +Preferences cannot be saved, and cannot be changed while the plug-in is enabled. + + +Please send questions, comments, suggestions, bug reports or anything else to: +julien.carme@acm.org |
