Short: Assembler random wb backdrop prog (now with makelist script) Author: jay@blidworth.demon.co.uk (Jason Frecknall) Uploader: jay blidworth demon co uk (Jason Frecknall) Type: util/wb Architecture: m68k-amigaos Here is yet another random wb picture program. I wrote this because not one of the 4 other programs I downloaded off Aminet worked how I wanted them too, some of them simply copied a random picture to another file which you picked as your backdrop, hardly the most efficient way. My program creates a new wbpattern.prefs in ENV: with a random backdrop picked from a list of files and then quits. Only the filename is altered, any options set (e.g. with FastWBPattern) won`t be touched. Since this program was coded in assembler, it is much smaller than similar programs and it also supports changing of the backdrop at any time - just run the program again, and can be run from an icon. The program itself is less than 1k. 1.1 Fixed problem with changing backdrops caused by file format assumptions. Improved and optimised random number routine (~50% smaller). Name changed to RandyPic upon finding another program with the name of RandomPic in a different dir on Aminet. 1.2 Added Makelist script (thanks to Goran Cengic) which just missed previous release. More optimisations. Version not uploaded to Aminet due to problem with window patterns. 1.3 More optimisations. Fixed problems with window patterns. Due to a few more assumptions the settings for "pattern" were being ignored and all you got was a plain gray background in the windows. 1.4 Lots more optimisations. Fixed Freemem() bug - forgot to pass amount of mem to free up (Doh!) Should be the last bug - for now ;-)
