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.
