About CircleBoy:
This was a simple art project to demonstrate a reabstraction of data on your hard drive.. instead of text files being text and sounds being audio, it traverses a file per 2seconds and displays it as if it contained visual information: the location, size. shape, and color of ellipses in the circleBoy window :)
circleBoy only displays the first 7k of a file (= 1000 ellipses), because any more would just slow down the refresh time without adding anything visually. circleBoy was built on Michael Crawford(crawford@goingware.com)'s circleToy code, there are many additions. Thanks go to some unknown person on #bedev (sorry I forgot your nick) for modifying the basic circleToy code to allow resizing. B a s i c a l l y , circleBoy is just something fun to watch. You can really learn a lot about the different internal structures of different kinds of files if you stare @ it long enough. maybe I should clean it up and make it a screen saver.. I will probably do a openGL 3D version first. Feel free to play w/ the source--it's educational in that It does a very simple BQuery.. (source is included a PPC port would be appreciated...)

Details about this version:
(oh. come to think of it, I didnt use the resizable version of circleToy in this current version of circleBoy .. i added the resizing procedures w/the help of the BeBook and people on #bedev but it makes use of some potentially ugly flags (like IIRC B_FULL_UPDATE_ON_RESIZE))
