"It gives credence to the phrase 'I can see music'...There is no real way to describe the patterns except as weird." - Australian PC Review Oct '94

"Cthugha displays your sound card's CD, line or mic-input, then processes it into a hypnotic, swirling, 256-color confection for your eyes." - WIRED 3.03 (p. 156: Music to Your Eyes)

cthugha does this by using svgalib and displays directly on the console. xcthugha uses X11 to display. glcthugha maps its graphics on 3D objects and displays using OpenGL.

cthugha-server is used to access an remote soundcard. Read the documentation for more information.

See the texinfo file for more information. Or run 'cthugha --help' to get a short list.

Free for non-commercial use - Send a Postcard to show your appreciation. If you have more money than you know what to do with, then send me a CD of something you like listening to with Cthugha on the screen... Really, there's no point sending me a cheque for $20-$30, because its going to cost to get it cashed anyway, and I'd probably go out and buy a CD with the money, so - if you want to send more than a postcard, why not just send a CD instead ?? Commercial users register for US$50 or 2 CDs. If you can't afford to register send a video tape (PAL preferably) of public performance or send a postcard :-) If you forward this program on to friends, make it available on a BBS, etc please include this document (un-adulterated). If you run a shareware house/store, the disk you sell this program on is not allowed to be sold for more than US$20. DISCLAIMER: this software is provided 'as is' without waranty of any kind implied or expressed.

If it works, great. If it doesn't, then that's your bad luck - send us some mail and we will try to fix it.
