Recently, I have been playing with a BackSpace view that was ported to the NeXT by Jeff Adams called MartinView. It has a basic "Hopalong" fractal algorithm that generates some extremely cool patterns... Wick (Pete Wickersham) and I added mouse control to it; basically, vertical motion forces it to erase whatever is on the screen, and horizontal motion forces it to change algorithms.... It was easy (as is most mods to BackSpace views), and I'm sure there are others out there who would have useful contributions, as well. So, here is the plan; let's open up MartinView (and a couple of other basic BackSpace Views that have lots of room for development) to a moderated developer environment... Wick and I will volunteer to moderate for now-- we have an account set up at Stone specifically to hold the source archives to do this.... If you are interested in finding out more about this, send mail to: <gd@stone.com> with a request for the docs. To participate, you either need: NeXTMail (or the ability to generate NeXTMail style attachments) or splitmail/joinMail (or some other uuencoded style of transfer that we can easily deal with). b.bum & wick -- <bbum@stone.com> | "I ride tandem with the random...
