On Rocco's suggestion I made bouncing bubbles:



This one was fun because I got to reuse some code I wrote for an asteroids game I never finished a long time ago 🙂

Additionally, I've added a less chaotic random walk called "Strands" which was inspired by the original broken random walk:



And a quick and easy adaptation of snow, Rain!


(It looks kinda weird in the gif--better on calc)

Looking great!

How many is that all up in total now?

Thanks! There are fifteen total animations (so far 😉 )

I added another screensaver, the beloved Starfield!

Very cool, so many fun animations here!

It briefly crossed my mind last night to see if you wanted to take the code from the Alien Breed 5 title screen for a "floating in space" animation, but your starfield one looks great!

I think Tiles, Spirograph and Bubbles are my favs so far

Another nice classic effect crossed off the list 🙂

Other suggestions straight up from TICT's screensavers include:
* dissolve: inverting pixel colors in an image... on this platform, it would lend itself to a wider range of color shifts, possibly implemented through palette changes ?
* fire: a fire effect, also in e.g. xscreensaver;
* shuffle: cutting an image, be it the previous contents of the screen or something else, into tiles, then shuffling said tiles randomly, one or few at a time;
* tvnoise: an analog TV noise effect. I once made a TI-68k implementation of that effect, with sound on the legacy I/O port, in 127 bytes (on-calc size); the LFSR PRNG was fast and small, but produced patterns in its output.

Oops, I forgot to set PATH. Thanks for the correction.

The first release is here, with 16 animations! Check it out: http://ceme.tech/DL2777

We ended up restructuring a bit. Every animation is in a separate AppVar, which makes it more modular and hopefully more straightforward to creating your own animations as well! 🙂

Here's a preview of all the animations:

can you make it compatible with ceashell
so it could run while your using ceashell

I'm definitely going to download this. Maybe you could make the classical color-changing DVD logo as one of the screensavers?

We've added a button to preview animations:


Now you can see what you're selecting without waiting around for the calculator to go to sleep!

Very cool! I dusted off my CE on the weekend, so I’ll download this tonight to try out

when are you releasing this version

hey, how do i get it to trigger? i have it on {yes} for enabled, but it never shows up. pls help ☹️

It should just trigger after letting your calculator sit for a few minutes or so

update: it seems to randomly disable whenever i turn off the calculator or open cesium, but not all the time. either way, it never shows up. how do i fix this?

I do know at the very least that Cesium is most likely destroying the hook we use that allows the screensaver to trigger. I'm not sure about turning off the calculator though as that shouldn't be messing with the hook at all.

Yeah that would be cool! 😄 boids simulations are so fun to watch.

roccolox,

i use cesium to launch most programs on my calculator. is there any way to work around not removig cesium for this program to work? 😕

Unfortunately it appears that Cesium just destroys the particular hook we use upon being launched so isn't really anything we would be able to do ourselves to prevent this from happening.
