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. -=EPS=-
