Comment on Recreating macOS’s Drift Screensaver with Rust and WASMparent

Comments

Hit "C" to bring up the control panel which, btw, is written in Elm!

Ah, the tell-tale signs of re-implementing inputs from scratch! It's not so much "hit C" as "Hit the key with code KeyC"... which means press "j" if you're using Dvorak, and something else if you're using Azerty, Colemak, or some other layout.

As a qwertz user I can relate. "Press ~ to open console" in games has always been a fun one. Sometimes it's '0', sometimes it's 'ö' but sometimes none of the above.

is there a library most people use?

I see it also has an "UA" mode - which is funny, because the animation reminds me of the waves you can see in a field of wheat on a windy day, and the Ukrainian flag represents a field of wheat under a blue sky. Hey, I guess that's an idea for another screensaver with a similar mechanic...
