introduction
--------------------------------------

  welcome to another workbench toy.

  ShadeBobs opens a scalable window on the default pubscreen
  and shows the well-known shadebob effect (invented by
  Silents/Crionics in 1991, i guess), only that this version
  is calculated in a RGB buffer, is written in plain c and
  runs on your workbench.

  ShadeBobs uses the RTG capabilities of guigfx.library for
  drawing the effect to your screen. if your default pubscreen
  is not driven in true- or hicolor, the buffer is rendered
  in realtime to the screen's available pens.

  press the 't' key for a frames-per-second counter.
  press the space bar for a new display with new parameters.
