What Revelation Would Look Like on OS X

(url="http://"http://www.watzmanassociates.com/josh/programming/downloads/Sticker.dmg.sit")Sticker(/url)

I actually wrote this a day or two ago as a joke on my family; I'd stick a readme that says "Don't Run Me" with it in the Applications folder, then laugh when they're stupid enough to run it. But then I realized how similar to Revelation it is (at least the graphics; there's no virus code here), hence why I'm posting it. The text on the windows reflects the joke purpose, not the Revelation one. That could easily be changed, though. (Programmers: just edit the view in the nib file.)

To get out (without brute-forcing it), just hold the option key when you close a window. None of the other normal methods work (namely, Command-Q).

Source can be provided if anyone wants it (yeah, right). And I'm aware that only one window can have the text on it at a time.

If this hurts my computer I'll kill you.... 🙂

HA HA HA

Make a revelation screen saver for Macs. I have one for my windows and it looks really cool.

------------------
Trust is a weakness.

I think I'm gonna go ahead and reconnect Quit to terminate before running it... (You shoulda subclassed NSApplication to do it "right", ya know ;)).

I'd be interested in seeing the source, although it looks pretty simple.

(edit) And while I'm talking about "right"ness, smile should be a tiff ;)(/edit)

What is it? It wont run, I have MacOS 9.1 though, is it an OSX Program? It opens up in Disk Copy which says t doesn't have a recognized file type

Steelix

.sit happens!

It's a disk image of a Cocoa app 🙂 Sorry about that.

Hm. That wouldn't be much harder than a bunch of ((revelationStringArray objectAtIndex:i) drawAtPoint:randomPoint withAttributes:attributes); but the hard part would be making sure randomPoint was within screen bounds. And learning how the attributes dict is structured. (Sorry, programming rant.)

Does anyone have a list of the strings Revelation uses?

Source is very simple. Similar to FunkyOverlayWindow but with CoreGraphics calls. Do you want me to email it to you?

And I got the image from the internet and didn't have a copy of GraphicConverter easily available to convert it. 🙂

Sure, email if you have a spare moment.

For the strings, I'd hazard starting in the application...

(edit) Though I tell you what... Revelation will never be as scary on OS X as a kernel panic* O.O
How about a kernel panic simulator? THAT'd freak your family out 😉 (/edit)

*Happened only once... I can still see it when I close my eyes (well, not really, but almost ;))

I'd be interested in the source code.

If it's just a game, and life is all a game, then isn't the game real life?

Question. Why don't you copy the view? Is it just a performance thing? Cuz the effect is a bit minimized...

NSView doesn't respond to -copy; already tried that. Nor does NSTextField (tried that too).

I'll email mrxak and you the source in just a moment.

Very fun. I switched this with my dad's MahJong game, and it scared the **** out of him. Very nice. I would like to see the source of this as well.
