[comp.sys.mac] Spinning Watch [and falling-sand] cursor

cs313s19@uhccux.UUCP (Mike Morton) (11/29/87)

A couple of years ago, I wrote a spinning-watch subroutine in MDS assembler.
It used the vertical-retrace manager to ensure that the spin rate was
constant, which actually doesn't help the user the way animating from
SystemTask would.

Actually, the subroutine could animate a watch with one or two moving hands,
or an hourglass with falling sand (remember the Lisa hourglass?).

I have no idea if the routine works with recent ROMs, but the source is
public domain, so I'd be glad to mail it to anyone who's interested.
