Anyone remember the "melt" demo?
« on: May 14, 2024, 05:12:22 PM »
Does anyone remember a demo program that I think was called "melt"
When you ran it, everything on the screen would appear to melt and fall to the bottom.
I've looked around on the web and can't find it.

No, not that one.. but I see now it was a thing more than one person wrote.
The one I remember was much better at making the screen look melty and it also took no arguments, and did not trash the machine requiring a reboot. once the program exited things went back to normal.

I remember what ever it was, I also had access to the source code, and I adapted the code to run on a Sun computer.

I remember one of these from back then.
I think it was on a disk called "tools for fools" or something like that.

MELT is by Leo Schwab and is on Fred Fish disk 66 of the Fred Fish PD Collection.
