yuki.scr screen saver for windows xp
this is a windows screen saver inspired by /w/ thread 426444. it emulates yuki hacking using the command line. when running an animation of yuki typing appears in the btm-right and various fake code windows apear and scroll. currently it only responds to mouse-movement to close.
The most recent version is 0.04 (build 36).
this software is provided 'as is'. use at your own risk.
download and extract to a folder (e.g. "c:\program files\yuki")
browse to that folder, right-click on yuki_scr.scr file and select "install".
in the display properties window / screen saver tab, click the "Settings" button to change a couple of options.
current TODO list:
high priority
better window placement strategy (ie more than just random).
medium priority
better code snipets.
variable window sizes.
configerable max console windows.
low priority
line in txt file that triggers a wait?
way to have only part of a line "typed", so prompt can just appear?
change log:
version 0.04
add: line starting "," will have the same effect as ".", but will not bring the window to the foreground.
correction: typing error in folder name: "psudo" to "pseudo".
change: tweeked preferences window.
fix: cancel button on preferences window actually does something.
add: console colours are changeable.
add: propper programme icons (taken from cmd.exe).
version 0.03
add: more code files. lots from the IOCCC. also lots provided by anon of /w/.
change: when consol text boxes fill, for simplicity they clear completly instead of pruning off the top.
add: option to increases its own process priority (should reduce lag).
add: option to not show the yuki typing animation.
add: multiple monitor support. code windows will appear on any monitor, though the animation will always remain on the first.
version 0.02
fixed: major memory leak (forms are no longer created and distroyed, but shown and hidden. work-around until i work out why destroying a form does not completly free the memory.)
version 0.01
added: animation moves every 300 seconds to another corner at random.
