Only long enough to add....
- make sure there is an obvious means by which the user can get out
of the screensaver
- if there user isn't flailing at the keyboard/mouse/whatever, vary
the variables in some semi random fashion such that something
interesting happens anyway
- try to make the controls somewhat intuitive. For spiroscales,
the location of the mouse matters-- not the distance moved or the
speed/direction. This provides a relatively predictable set of controls
and lets the user reproduce patterns at will.
- MAKE SURE YOU ENTER YOUR SCREENSAVER IN THE CONTEST! We will be
announcing winners at MacWorld-- probably Tuesday evening and an
as-yet-unnanounced location. See www.stepise.com for more information
(basically, submit your screensaver to softrak and send email to
email@hidden).

(Of course, SpiroScales violates the first two rules.... I should fix it
some day)
