After Dark Screen Saver: Penrose

The Penrose module from After Dark 2.0. I love the plastic look given to the Penrose tiles. A great module that shows off the math+art skill combination that Berkeley Systems infused into many of their savers.

PENROSE

This program fills the plane of the screen with a non-periodic Penrose tiling consisting of kite- and dart-shaped tiles in a five-fold symmetric pattern. The technique of deflation is used to replace successive generations of tilings with increasingly smaller tiles. See "Penrose Tiles and Trapdoor Ciphers" by Martin Gardner, or the January 1977 Scientific American.

After Dark Screen Saver: Guts

The Guts module from After Dark 3.0. This video shows an edit of the different options available such as various shapes or Windows icons. Using 256 colors (Windows 3.1 under DOSBox) allows for the mesmerizing effects of color transitions.

GUTS (tm) -- Entertaining Entrails

Guts is an N-body gravitational simulation where the "stars" are attracted to each other by a modified gravitational formula:

                         M1 x M2      
             F  = G -----------------
                              R

If your system has 256 colors, Guts will use palette animation for vivid viscera.

After Dark Screen Saver: Flying Toatsers Pro

The classic flying toasters from After Dark 3.0.  This was the version that introduced the midi anthem with accompanying karaoke lyrics.

Flying Toasters Pro

"Flying out of the sun, The smell of toast is in the air.  When there's a job to be done, The Flying Toasters will be there."

 
"Objects" determines the number of toasters on the screen.

"Music" controls how often music is played.

"Song" selects which song will be played.

"Karaoke" allows you to sing along.

Original concept by Jack Eastman.
Programming by Paul Meyer, Vann Miller, Bruce Burkhalter, Brian Chen, & Bob Bickford.
