Package: screen
Version: 4.0.3-14
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
After a given idle time it would be nice if screen could launch apps.
Like for instance
import os, time, random, sys
class message(str):
def __new__(cls, text, speed):
self = super(message, cls).__new__(cls, text)
self.speed = speed
self.y = -1*len(text)
self.x = random.randint(0, display().width)
self.skip = 0
return self
def move(self):
if self.speed > self.skip:
self.skip += 1
else:
self.skip = 0
self.y += 1
class display(list):
def __init__(self):
self.height, self.width = [int(x) for x in os.popen('stty size',
'r').read().split()]
self[:] = [' ' for y in xrange(self.height) for x in xrange(self.width)]
def set_vertical(self, x, y, string):
string = string[::-1]
if x < 0:
x = 80 + x
if x >= self.width:
x = self.width-1
if y < 0:
string = string[abs(y):]
y = 0
if y + len(string) > self.height:
string = string[0:self.height - y]
if y >= self.height:
return
start = y*self.width+x
length = self.width*(y+len(string))
step = self.width
self[start:length:step] = string
def __str__(self):
return ''.join(self)
i_message = raw_input("Input a message: ")
messages = [message(i_message, random.randint(1, 5))]
for t in xrange(1000):
messages.append(message(i_message, random.randint(1, 5)))
d = display()
for text in messages:
d.set_vertical(text.x, text.y, text)
text.move()
sys.stdout.write(str(d))
sys.stdout.flush()
del d
time.sleep(0.1)
a matrix screensaver for xterm or other type of cool ideas.
Sincerely,
Y.
