TheButton is a program that gives you complete life-or-death control over your newton's little world.  Ok, so all it does is reboot the newton, but it accomplishes this in a new and unique way.  Not only do you get a nice little icon of a "failsafe" cover, but clicking on the icon reveals a big friendly-looking button that "nukes" the screen and reboots when pressed.  Oh yea, just in case you carelessly leave the failsafe cover open don't worry; it will close by itself about 6 seconds after it was opened.



This program falls into the category of "cute, but not extremely useful, by-products of my learning process."  Feel free to send comments or offers to improve on my artwork.



Future plans:



% Add an item to the preferences roll.  Why?  You'll see....  But not if it takes up too much of the "frames" heap.



% Make a "fat" version for those who aren't worried about using a bigger chunk of ram.  This would mean the addition of sounds and possibly a better "nuke" animation than the standard "poof" cloud.  (Want to donate some artwork?  Send me mail....)
