Those that have seen this project in it's several phases have made comments such as "That is totally insane!" :

But I had fun making it! And now it's finished. I'll attach it here for anyone curious enough to look at it.

I guess I'll consider it a proof that at the least I'm creative

Would love to hear your comments and/or criticisms...

Whats the login / pass?

Nevermind, It's mac only

Guest log-in is full-access

is it the menu short-cuts that make it Mac-only?

What do I change to make them Windows friendly? I'm new to custom menus..

Well it should be ctrl + whatever for windows. But windows doesn't refresh filemaker very well, so it's not smooth, it's like 1 fps.

Great fun :

Per request, here is the revised file that will not present the Log-in dialog

I won't spoil this for anyone. But if you have done a whole lot of business type programming with FMP, this is such a breath of fresh air.

I'm so happy you posted this. It made my day.

Hey Leland, I think you managed entertaining, educational AND a complete waste of time all at once.

Maybe the companies who develop anti epilepsy drugs could use it to test how effective their products are.

Made me smile though

Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Lol, it's made for Mac -- windows has refresh issues remember?

It is as slow as a wet week on PC - matches my skill level perfectly.

What's this rubbush about time-wasting?
