ssLib v0.2 Beta

ssLib

Continuing his range of homebrew updates, which includes L:UA v1.05 unofficial and PSPWorldClock, Glynnder from our forums has given us another useful app with his latest PSP project, ssLib v0.2 beta. ssLib is a Lua library that allows Lua coders to add screensaver to any Lua application using just one line of code. It is incomplete, hence the beta title, and currently contains two options: scrolling and teleporting text.

To quote from Glynnder himself: “Scrolling text scrolls text backward and forward and up and down the screen, you can choose your message and the speed and the colour and soon to be some other factors also. Teleporting text has the text jump from one place on the screen to another, you can customise it in similar ways to scrolling text.”

At the moment, there is one pretty major bug with ssLib, and that’s the ability to set a delay. Granted, it’s not really a bug, but merely a lack of a function. Glynnder cannot find a suitable way to make a delay until the screensaver comes on without effecting the applications that will be using this library. In order for you to make this work correctly, you will have to make a time delay yourself and then call the saver. Any suggestions on which screen savers to add should be made in the forum release thread, with Glynnder already adding flashing (rainbow type) colours and size customizability within a day.
