I could never decide between this and the pipes screensaver.

Swapped between them every other day; much to the annoyance of my father, lol

I remember trying to play this in the 90s. Couldn't understand that it wasn't Doom

Back in my day, this was the Backrooms.

How I learned that all mazes can be solved if you hug one of the walls

[–] ramirezmike@programming.dev 11 points 4 months ago

that only works for mazes without islands if I recall correctly

[–] cobra89@beehaw.org 3 points 4 months ago

Not necessarily all mazes:

If the maze is not simply-connected (i.e. if the start or endpoints are in the center of the structure surrounded by passage loops, or the pathways cross over and under each other and such parts of the solution path are surrounded by passage loops), this method will not necessarily reach the goal.

You could also set it to a trippy psychotic version

Xlock has this one, as well as a bunch of similar ones

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Search engines don't know about whatever xlock is apparently

Interesting, I did find that originally but it didn't seem related until this time I scrolled fairly far down the page. Thanks! Can it be set to automatically invoke like an old school screensaver? I know a while back I looked into screensavers and it seemed like everyone had deemed them obsolete so I abandoned the idea
