TwiLight - the Screensaver

TwiLight was developed from 1991 to 1997 by Alvar Freude, Peter Scheerer (design and code) and Dragan Espenschied (GUI-design, graphics and sound). The software works on any ATARI TOS compatible system: TOS itself, MagiC, MagiC Mac, MagiC PC, MultiTOS, Geneva, MultiGEM and whatever else there is around.

Up till 1997 TwiLight was sold by Application Systems Heidelberg to our full satisfaction.

Screenshots

The main dialog where screensaver modules could be selected. Notice the dialog switiching popup menu, today such a function is usually executed with tabs.

A dialog for setting up properties of a module. Please notice the progressive use of a slider that displays the set up value inside the sliding element.

These screenshots look so strange because i scanned them from the handbook. :) Now go and see some graphics and animations from the modules!

Features

TwiLight's exceptional features have been:

• Great compatibility with all types of applications
• Many options to adjust, for example TwiLight could be told to react different with certain applications in memory or listen to ports
• Extremly low memory usage through 100% assembler code
• Simple but feature packed interface to C and assembler to write own modules. For example TwiLight gives you a color depth transparent sprite engine and the ability to play sampled sounds on any system
• A handbook explaining all this

Descriptions of Features of Version 2.0 not covered in the printed handbook are available as a HTML file, German language.
