Renamed from SpiroDraw06 and added two new design generator functions, "YarnBall" and "CircleStar". COMPANY No company, just an AMINET upload by "yours truly". AUTHOR EyeCandy01 was written by me, Chuck Kenney. My particulars (address, etc.) are included in the user document in the archive. DESCRIPTION EyeCandy01 generates various "eye candy" designs. Currently these are: "SpiroDraw", "YarnBall" and "CircleStar". Future releases of EyeCandy will likely have more designs programmed in. "SpiroDraw" simulates the Wheels-and-Rings-and-Pens spirograph drawing toy. "YarnBall" ... well generates designs that look like balls of yarn. "CricleStar" generates designs that look like 3D checkerboard stars. "EyeCandy" Allows the user to specify differentvalues for many of the parameters which dictate the sizes and shapes of the designs - "Drawing Wheels, Drawing Rings", number of"YarnBall" spokes, etc. The use of a computer to generate the SpiroDraw designs actually enhances some of the capabilities! "EyeCandy01" is all mouse-driven (MENUs, GADGETs, etc.). It is a fun _and_ addictive program! EyeCandy01.lha also contains a very nice little freely distributable "screen-to-IFF" saver utility by Preben Nielsen (thanks, Preben) so that "EyeCandy" designs can be imported into "paint" programs. "EyeCandy" is shareware but does not nag the user in any way (except if the user selects the "About" MENU item) and all features are fully functional. NEW FEATURES "EyeCandy01" is the follow-on to "SpiroDraw06". It was renamed to better reflect its new additional design-generation capabilities. So far, these new designs include "YarnBall" and "CircleStar". Other minor enhancements (compared to SpiroDraw06) were implemented in the "SpiroDraw" and the user interface functions in general. SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS There are no special requirements that I know of. EyeCandy01 has been tested on an Amiga 2000HD (OS 2.1) and an Amiga 1000 (OS 1.3). HOST NAME EyeCandy01.lha has just been uploaded to the AMINET site, ftp.etsu.edu (192.43.199.20) and should soon be available on all other AMINET sites. DIRECTORY EyeCandy01.lha and EyeCandy01.readme reside in the "aminet/gfx/misc" directory. FILE NAMES EyeCandy01.lha is 66,597 bytes long. PRICE The asking shareware price is the amount sent to me by my first shareware contributor. This requested shareware fee is $5.00 (US). DISTRIBUTABILITY This program is freely distributable as long as the documentation accompanies the program but is a copyrighted (1994) shareware program by me, Chuck Kenney. OTHER EyeCandy01, and other programs in progress are coming out of my basement as a result of the availability of a truly wonderful "BASIC-but-much-more!" compiler, "ACE" by David Benn. I would like to sincerely thank Mr. Benn for renewing my enthusiasm in programming and for making it possible for me to make my programs available to more than just my friends and immediately family! -- Read all administrative posts before putting your post up.
