Screamager - a dot matrix LED message scroller

[TheMarco]

A brand new version of Screamager has been released in the app store. This version is almost a complete rewrite. New / Changed:

- screen now stays on
- now pixi screensize compatible
- new display with more (16 + black) colors and 34x18 dots
- mirrored text
- some new special chars (broken heart, skull, arrows)
- new animation player and new built in animations
- ability to play your own animations / still images
- animation creation tool available at screamager.com
- now available in all countries

I'm currently working on a tablet version as well which will initially come out on BlackBerry PlayBook and on the TouchPad which includes a built-in animation editor.
Tablet and phone versions will be 100% compatible for animation playing.

Note that the animations are rather slow. This is apparently a hardware limitation. It should get faster on newer upcoming devices.

Note that even though the animations don't have a very fast FPS rate they still look very cool. Here's an example video of one of the built in animations:

You can make these yourself with the tool at http://screamager.com/tools/

In fact, the one you see in the video was made with it too in a matter of minutes.
