- SNOWFALL

- 1989 by Lars R. Clausen

- Well, there isn't really that much to say about SnowFall. I cooked it up
- one day I felt I missed some snow, and along the way, I put in some options
- for whoever might want to use them. Basically, SnowFall loads a picture, by
- default "SnowPic", and lets snowflakes fall down through anything of color 0
- to land on anything else, tumbling down slopes if possible to make the heaps
- more realistic. On request from a shopkeeper who'd like to use it in his
- display window, I made it redraw the original picture onse in a while, by
- default every 10000 moves of the snowflakes. Just for fun, I also made it
- possible to make a wind blow.
-
- To start SnowFall, either duobleclick its icon or start it from CLI by
- simply typing SnowFall. The command line options are these:
-
- -p[filename] Load this file as the picture (must be an ILBM file).
- -t[number] Refresh the picture every time number moves have been
- done. SnowFall simply keeps a copy of the picture on
- another screen, blitting it up when needed. A number of -1
- means no refreshing will be done.
- -w[windforce] Let the wind blow with this force. For every 8 windforce,
- the snowflakes will move 1 pixel more sideways per move.
- High windforces gives pretty bad results.
-
- As usual, I provide the program 'as is', taking no responsibility at all
- for what it might do to your computer and so on. Don't send me any money for
- this one, it's my (late) christmas present for you all. Bugreports and
- comments can be sent to:

- P.S. The way snowflakes seem to double when hitting flat ground is not a
- bug, it's a feature!
