The Amiga Blanker Workstation
Bring your amiga to life when its bored!
SwazBlanker is a modular screen blanker for kickstart 39 (workbench 3.0)
or higher. The main program and all modules support localization so you
may have it in any language that you choose (provided that the correct
catalog files have been installed). Where possible I have used 24 bit
color and do not use the Amiga hardware directly. Several blankers do
take advantage of the Amiga hardware and use the copper, but they will
still continue to function on non Amiga hardware.
Blanker Screen Shots
Here are screen shots of 3 blanker modules, there are many more included in the SwazBlanker distribution!

All blanker packages seem to have some color cycled rippled pool effects, so
here is the one for SwazBlanker.

Originally this blanker started out trying to show the magnetic fields between
point changes in space, I never managed to get the algorithms perfect, tweaking
here and there trying to get the colors looking nice. But never mind, it still
gives to something to look at while you are sitting idle at your Amiga!

This is my favourite blanker! This is similar to Pyro except that it is more
graphics intensive and much more impressive. Preferably run on a high
resoloution 256 color display with 24bit color (although it can go as low as
32 colors low resoloution) this blanker explodes thousands of pixels
(configurable to lower values for slow machines) from a point on the display
with a nice color fade of the trail of the element as it dies away.
