[comp.sys.mac] Experience Programming to "After Dark"?

taylor@limbo.Intuitive.Com (Dave Taylor) (10/16/89)

I recently received a copy of Berkeley Systems' "After Dark" screen
saving package (CDEV) and am most impressed.  There are lots of neat
options for different screen saving screens, including some that do
simple things like dim the screen, and some that are more complex, 
like running generations of "life" on the screen image...

In any case, the program also offers a programmer mode where you can
supposedly easily write and add in your own screen saving routines.
What I'm interested in hearing is if anyone has actually written 
their own screen savers for After Dark, and if so, what theirs do.

BTW: After Dark is much more interesting, and equally reliable, as
Pyro! and I recommend it highly!

I know it's a competing concern, but you're just going to "have to"
procure a copy of this month's (October's) MacTutor; there's all of a
half an article in there on this very topic.












sorry to do this, but my reader won't let me post otherwise...
