This directory contains greynetic
, a “hack” or screensaver which is compatible
with the xscreensaver screenhack
framework. As one of the simplest hacks included with xscreensaver, it serves
as an excellent starting point when writing your own hack.
Also included is a Makefile
documenting the build commands, an example
manpage for greynetic
, and a document named README.hacking
containing
instructions for writing your first hack.
Complete. Tested on FreeBSD.
The included Makefile
includes targets for make all
to build the hack,
make clean
to delete any build detritus, make run
to execute the hack, and
make manpage
to compile and display the hack’s manpage.
If you are running on FreeBSD, simply run one of those four commands. Anywhere
else, edit the Makefile
to suit your environment per the comments included in
that file. Note that the Makefile
assumes a copy of the screenhack library
source code is located at ../screenhack/
relative to this directory.
To get started hacking on your hack, read README.hacking
and then dive into
the greynetic.c
source code.
