Demo

Demo

Install

releases page.

Controls

Tip: Disable Deterministic and maximize sqwimble to get a random event.

Time

The target time from which an event is chosen.

Location

The target coordinates of the location from which an event is chosen.

Sqwimble

The allowed range in years from which an event is considered valid.

Deterministic

Determines whether Time Machine will always choose the closest event to the target or a random valid event.

Assume Form

Determines if Time Machine will change the desktop background to the image of the event.

Future Plans

Currently adding event times, locations, and descriptions is very time-consuming. A script to automatically scrape event info from wikipedia would be useful.
