BlankerConfig Script-Central Theme


Script-Central disk magazine always opened with an image of the "Script-Central" virtual school building, which I recently learned was modeled on the UW Science Building by artist Bo Monroe. There were always themed animations around the building and they varied from issue to issue, providing an initial few moments of entertainment.

The Script-Central 2020 Special Edition includes a stack called BlankerConfig. BlankerConfig is a stack that allows a screen blanker to be configured that will execute while HyperCard IIGS is running and has been idling for some period of time. There are 5 possible screen blankers, the fifth of which is a Script-Central themed blanker that combines elements of several of the Script-Central issues and provides night and day views of the Script-Central building along with a fireworks display.

This video does not have sound recorded, but the screen saver stack itself includes the sounds of cars and fireworks. BlankerConfig also includes tamer screen savers that display messages, the time, and an aquarium.

Enjoy the video and download Script-Central 2020 Special Edition for tons of HyperCard IIGS fun.
