3.8 ``Screen-saver'' demo.

For a continuous show of attractor basins ``boiling`` on the screen.

Backtrack with ``q'' (or right mouse button) to the start of the program.

At the very first prompt enter ``s'' for single basin or sub-tree.

At the ``Network size...'' prompt select 10. (for a faster computer select 11 or 12).

At the ``Neighbourhood size...'' prompt select 4.

Keep entering ``return'' to accept defaults for the rule, seed etc.

At the OUTPUT PARAMETERS prompt enter ``a`` to restore all defaults, then ``return'' until the ``savescreen demo..'' window appears and enter ``s'' to accept the option. Then enter ``d'' to accept all further defaults.

Enter ``return'' until the show starts (the rule picked at random will be shown in the bottom rule-window).

Toggle the display of the ``backwards`` space-time pattern and the state-space matrix as described in 3.2.Enter ``q'' to interrupt (and backtrack).

Try the screen saver with a black background (see #2.3).
