*** WARNING: EYE CANDY HEAVY ***

Due to popular demand Vorboils now has a digital clock too (as well as the 3d analogue one). They all come in 3 sizes and you can show/hide the seconds or even have 'small' seconds

Here are some of the clock types available....











Version 2.03 coming soon

wow. Does the time move around to avoid screen-burn?

Oh, it says "clock" - Sorry misread it.

Grey, you really need to get a TFT - Screen burn - pffftt!


Grey Alien(Posted 2005) [#4]
Isn't that the point of screensavers? I have TFTs for games, anyway that thread's been and gone.


Boiled Sweets(Posted 2005) [#5]
OK so it's called a screensaver, it doesn't mean it will save your screen these days its just something nice to look at - any way thats off thread.

The thread is Vorboils ROCKS!

You do have some wicked tunnels.

Added another digital clock font

Also added option to not display seconds or to display 'small' seconds

Any other suggested fonts?


Boiled Sweets(Posted 2005) [#8]
Yep, another 2!

Just because that statement is true doesn't make it right.

This thread is not about whether screen savers save your screen. It's about how cool my application is ;-)


Ricky Smith(Posted 2005) [#11]
Your "application" is very cool - however I think if I used it personally I would suffer from chronic migraine and nausea. Probably because I'm old and doddery ;)


Boiled Sweets(Posted 2005) [#12]
Hehe - hey I'm old and doddery too, Vorboils is like a strong Bloody Mary first thing in the morning.

It's kill or cure...

Vorboils was one of those 'I wonder if' spin-off projects from RetroSphere but turned into a full blown monster (currently has 228 configuarble options etc).

I don't even care whether people like it or use it - it's just my little friend. My only friend. <sob> <sob>.

Maybe I have spent too much time looking at it - perhaps it's time to go outside and get some fresh air...

gibber gibber gibbber


Boiled Sweets(Posted 2005) [#13]
And another one - maybe thats enough now...

Boiled: can I ask what you're using to create your font textures?


Boiled Sweets(Posted 2005) [#15]
I use Font Candy, part of the awesome Sprite Candy. Then I touch them up in PhotoShop
