Description
A kaleidoscopic object spewer with 12 different draw effects. Only minimal palette cycling is used, just to cause some elements to flash between two colors. Though packaged as shareware, Ed has informed me he considers this and his other early software to be freeware now.
My first screen-saver, and my first "official" shareware release, this program makes dazzling 256-color displays on your screen.
Blaze can be configured by editing it's config file: BLAZE.CFG. Such enables each drawing effect, as well as mirroring and screen clearing to be enabled/disabled. The config file has a typo in it's help text, where it refers to the executable as "Blaxe.Exe".
