Its possible to use SLUMS as a live wallpaper in windows.

First download Lively wallpaper: https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively

Find the source html file in the inspect element (the link to just the content, you know you found it when you see SLUMS in a fullscreen html page without any fluff, now copy the link.

or just copy https://html-classic.itch.zone/html/9128725/index.html if you don't want to mess around in inspect

Now open lively and click the + button

Click enter URL and paste the link in. Now it will download the page and play the html file in the background.

Its pretty simple but I'm not sure how many people know about it so I figured id leave instructions here.

Wow, this is insane, I didn't know about that, the dream finally come true for some people, you are a true screen ... saver.
Here is 1 000 000 ㋳ federation credits for your contribution, enough to buy a can of space crab soup 🤖

I can confirm it work perfectly, It even continue to work offline, there is also sound and mouse click recognition, but I didn't manage to get the mouse wheel and keyboard controls working, maybe there is a way ?

Otherwise, I should maybe make a SLUMS - Lively special edition, with the screensaver mode activated by default or something, It will be easy to make... Anyway, I already put the setup process on the page thanks to you. But personally, I think I will stay with my old blank and soulless wallpaper, my desktop already looks like a dystopian cyberpunk garbage

You can enable keyboard or mouse inputs in settings > wallpaper  > wallpaper input

If you end up making a lively version of SLUMS, you should 100% ask the lively developers to put it in the wallpaper library by default, as there are similar things like parralax.js already included.

Also I just want to thank you for the procedural generator as I've been using it as a wallpaper for years.

AND thanks for the 1 000 000 ㋳ federation credits, I gambled it into 400 000 000 ㋳ and finally bought my dream house on Folstag X

Ha ha ha, Folstag X, I guess it's still better than the District 9 of Sinister Tartarus Prime... 💀

I couldn't imagine SLUMS will resonate this much with some people, thank you for your interest in this little piece of software, this means a lot to me. What you said really motivates me to make a Lively custom version now, I hope Lively devs will eventually be open to this idea, if not, Lively seems to be open source if I'm correct, this means I could provide a custom Lively package with SLUMS in it.

Oh, and as an intensive "user", feel free to give me any feedback, ideas or maybe things you wanted to see in a "SLUMS Lively edition". For now, with the upcoming PROCJAM 2025, I'm more into different procgen stuff, but this would be really cool to make that after.
