- Neko is a quick-and-dirty port of xneko, the cat-and-mouse chase
- originally written for the Macintosh. The cats are faithful to
- the original, but the mouse had to be altered slightly--it was 17
- pixels wide in the X version, which just won't do for the NeXT.
-
- >>> If you ever want to port this to something else, please go
- back to the original sources!
-
- I've tweaked things a little since the original release. The
- alternate images are from oneko, which you should be able to find
- along with xneko in the X contrib archives.
-
- I've tried to make things a little more NeXT-like. Command keys
- do what you'd expect, and it's even mildly amusing to miniaturize
- the main window.
-
- Preferences: The only "obvious" one is the choice of images. The
- main window size is automagically written to the defaults
- database at termination. There are three settings which are not
- available through the application. Interval controls the basic
- animation rate, and Speed controls how fast the cat moves. These
- default to fairly "optimal" settings, and you aren't likely to
- want to change them anyway. Title sets the window title. I left
- it out of preferences simply because "doing it right" involves
- quite a bit of effort, and I didn't consider it worthwhile.
