IDEA: Random Launcher
« on: January 05, 2007, 01:25 PM »
1. Random File:
An application that runs (or generates) files or programs randomly or at a specified time.

2. Random Sound:
I was searching for a random sound generator that plays while a screensaver ( http://www.reallyslick.com ) is running. But a shuffled playlist does that almost just as good. Still, it would be nice.

3. Random Image:
An app that generates (random) patterns from a given value in fullscreen. Preferrably a screensaver, but it needs an option to save the image and other options like color or detail depth.

Can you fill me in and tell me why you would want an application to start a random program at a random time?

Programming is an art form that fights back.

Scare clueless innocents? Duh!  ::)

Not just a random program. A program or file from a list. You could make dynamic help files that guide you through the process of creating certain files or through complicated tasks, but the possibilities are ENDLESS! 

The "random" feature would be just for (my) fun!  :P
