- Recently, I have been playing with a BackSpace view that was ported to the
- NeXT by Jeff Adams called MartinView. It has a basic "Hopalong" fractal
- algorithm that generates some extremely cool patterns...
-
- Wick (Pete Wickersham) and I added mouse control to it; basically, vertical
- motion forces it to erase whatever is on the screen, and horizontal motion
- forces it to change algorithms....
-
- It was easy (as is most mods to BackSpace views), and I'm sure there are
- others out there who would have useful contributions, as well.
-
- So, here is the plan; let's open up MartinView (and a couple of other basic
- BackSpace Views that have lots of room for development) to a moderated
- developer environment...
-
- Wick and I will volunteer to moderate for now-- we have an account set up at
- Stone specifically to hold the source archives to do this....
-
- If you are interested in finding out more about this, send mail to:
-
- <gd@stone.com>
-
- with a request for the docs.
-
- To participate, you either need:
-
- NeXTMail (or the ability to generate NeXTMail style attachments)
-
- or
-
- splitmail/joinMail (or some other uuencoded style of transfer that we can
- easily deal with).
