Hello all, and thanks for taking interest in Kaleidoplasma by Ken Kolano! It's a trippy little DOS Screen Saver similar to Acidwarp, Dazzle, Plasmawave, etc. This is version 4.25 (Comment Ware) System Requirements- * 486DX50 or faster * Um 300k of lower memory or so (I'm not really sure) * VGA compatible video card * An open mind * Some LSD never hurts Commands- O-Options Space-Quit Any other key-Next pattern Command line- Delay:# (0 to 255) Sets delay in MS, use if program is too fast LPS:# (1 to 159) Sets the number of lines drawn per palette shift Res:High/Medium/Low Sets the resolution Palette:Tricolor/Simple/Bars Sets the palette shifting mode Quotes:On/Off Turns quotes on exit on and off Mirror:# (1 to 3) Sets the mirroring mode mode 1 uses 4 mirrors, the others use 8 Timer:# (1 to 255) Sets the number of minutes between pattern changes Notes- This is based on my CP2 end of the year project at Shawnee High School, NJ My CP teacher didn't like it to much, "I hate that drug stuff.", she'd say but I'm sure you'll enjoy it. There are currently 53 different screens, and more should be added soon. This version is released as commentware. Please use and distribute it freely, but please send me some comments on what you think of it, (It only takes a minute to write an email). Extended Notes- Even if you don't have any comments, if you use the program send an email with just your name, and that you have the program. I am going to keep a list of users so they can receive updates through email.

Cost- This is stuff free man! I would really like to here what you think of it though, email me.
