Flaschen-Taschen Demos

By Carl Gorringe

Here are some programs that I wrote for the Noisebridge Flaschen Taschen Project, based on code written by hzeller.

I've also created ft-mod, a Music Module Player for the Flaschen Taschen.

Install How-to

This works on a unix-like OS such as Linux or Mac OS X.

Check out the project

This project uses the API provided in the flaschen-taschen project. We use it in a sub-module, so we have to check out with the --recursive option:

  git clone --recursive https://github.com/cgorringe/ft-demos

Either make & run the server locally, or use the remote servers (see original README). Set up your display using the environment variable:

$ export FT_DISPLAY=localhost or servername

Now make and run the demos:

$ cd ft-demos
$ make all
$ ./random-dots

Demos provided

Use the -? command-line option on any demo program to list it's options.

1. random-dots
2. quilt
3. nb-logo - logo that traverses the border
4. plasma - multi-colored plasma
5. blur bolt or boxes - burred simulated sound waves or rectangles
6. lines - like an old-school screensaver
