What Is IvoView? ================ IvoView is the coooolest screensaver of them all. It was the very first NEXTSTEP thing Ivo and I did, back when the first NeXTdimensions came out. We filmed Ivo's head, and captured via the ND, I doodled on it, then we modified "Globe" to show Ivo's demonic spinning head instead of the nice blue and green earth. If you have NEXTSTEP and color, this thing is a must. It looks best on 32bit hardware (which is why I haven't played with it since I left my ND behind until I got a #9GXE64 on a Pentium) but should look OK on 16bit hardware with the new modifications. I also added some stuff to bring it up to date with the latest BackSpace (it was written with the original BackSpace in mind). Download it, play with it, and scare your kids/parents/loved ones. ;-). Or better yet, plug it into your ND and put it on a big projection screen at christmas, er, Halloween ;-).

This is a disturbing screen saver that I made, using the code from GlobeView. All I did was to change the name of some variables, and supply the animation. Ivo supplied the video camera, and the head. If the images are too big for you (they are 32 bit colour) just open the Ivo.anim file by double clicking. This will open it in Icon.app. Choose "Save Animation As" from the Image menu cell. Choose 12 bit, or 4 bit or 2bit from the Save dialogue, and it will save the animation in that format, and save you some space. To make, just type make on the command line. You can move the IvoView.o and Ivo.anim into the BackSpace directory by hand, or try 'make install' Anyway, it was fun! - darcy samurai@hasc.ca
