Been a while since I did recreational #elisp hacking. Should I bother putting this up on MELPA?
Follow-up question: What kind of zone (AKA screensaver) programs would you like to see in #Emacs? The existing options:
- Built-in stuff (most of which scramble the existing buffer text or otherwise mess with it)
- Two Matrix™ ones
- Rainbow colors
- A steam locomotive (clone of the `sl` command)
- A nyancat animation written by yours truly
Most screensaver ideas seem to be about graphics rather than text, but graphics are of course still possible. One thing I've considered is game cut scenes, much like the "attract mode" of arcade machines (or maybe just add a whole game and relax the screen saver rules a bit).
1) A frosted donut with bites slowly being taken out of it. When it's eaten, another one appears.
2) Flying Toasters (I miss those guys).
3) You already did the Nyan Cat so I'm extremely grateful for that one already.👍
4) An old school pacman screen
5) Raindrops falling into a puddle
6) A really nice aquarium
7) Flying pigs or flying pink elephants
8) The screen slowly filling up with coloured marbles. When it fills up, it starts again. Physics bouncing would be good (if possible)
9) A slowly growing forest with trees and bushes appearing. When it's full, it starts again.
I hope you find some inspiration in these. 😀
@natharari @wasamasa I like 9 here -- like slowly shifting procgen landscapes would be nice
