Andromeda Photo – Look Through a Telescope
I'm not abandoning the Visual I theme. As Gosha says, don't put off learning new technologies. Words of wisdom. I'm continuing the theme of my screensaver programs, united under the name Visual I. This one has a controlled screensaver again. And again, space. Andromeda.
Andromeda Photo. This is about the depths of space. One large photograph. Horizontal spread. A huge photograph. Of space. With the name Andromeda. A telescope must have been pointed there. And that's how this image came out. And then it ended up online. I can't imagine how to photograph Andromeda. But apparently it's possible.
The theme is straight out of the last screensaver. Where the space photos are. And there was this photograph. But reduced to 800 x 600. And here it is, in the original, simply gigantic. 7 megabytes. And 7000 resolution. So I decided to cut this photograph. Into blocks. 4 blocks vertically and 2 horizontally.
A total of 8 images. Each was resized to approximately 800 by 600. The result is 800 by 511. And these images of Andromeda are here. In detail, so to speak. And this is where the splash screen comes from.
Several modes. Four of them. Time interval – adjustment. Arrows move around the Andromeda map. Modes are switched by numbers – 1, 2, 3, 4. Time is changed by + and -. And arrows for manual navigation on the map. Up and down. Left and right.
Mode 1. This is the horizontal direction of camera movement. That is, from 1 to 4. And then moves to the Y axis. And again from 1 to 4. A total of 8 images. Divided into two lines. Coordinate Y = 1. Four images. And coordinate Y = 2. Four images again. First, move along the first strip. Then along the second.
Mode 2. Vertical direction. First the image from the top, then the bottom. And we move along the x-axis by 1 point. And again, the image from the top. Then the bottom. And so on.
Mode 3. This is random. That is, one of the 8 images is randomly selected and shown.
Mode 4. This is user-defined. Only the user changes images using the arrow keys.
Using the + and - keys, you can change the frame hold time. Before changing it. From 5 to 60 seconds. Like on a TV. With a remote control. The idea comes from here.
Keyboard arrows – up, down, left, and right. Moving around the Andromeda map. Works in any mode. The map is two stripes. That is, 2 points high and 4 points long. You move along them using the arrow keys.
This time, I continue to create new topics from time to time. And this is just one of them. A cosmic idea. Far, far away Andromeda. Just think – how many stars are there. And these clusters are galaxies. Just think about it. The scale of the universe. Andromeda is a big thing. As big as the Milky Way. And there are a lot of galaxies like it. Each galaxy has a ton of stars. And around those stars are planets.
So take a close look at what's going on around Andromeda. Use a telescope, keep an eye out. There it is again, space. Mysterious and strange. Once again, I'm a programmer in this field. And you, as a viewer, will soon see Andromeda too. In the meantime, you can watch a sci-fi series with action from the 80s, like V. V. V is like Lian Ross's new album, V. Maybe I should ask Lian Ross something about Andromeda? It's a musical joke.
