' Penguin Transformer Series (Frog) ' Penguin thinks its a big joke to hide behind the couch and ' randomly croak like a frog, to drive everyone crazy! Let's hope ' everyone has a good sense of humor! ' The Penguin frog naps for a random time, then wakes to croak, ' then falls back to sleep. Just when you think you know where he's ' located, the croak stops! ' The number displayed on the debug screen is the approximate number ' of seconds that Penguin will sleep before awaking to croak. ' The comment in the Snooze subroutine tells you how to increase ' nap time and the delay between croaking. A longer random delay will ' only add realism to the effect! ' This program generates random numbers using the incremental seed ' technique, where the low number generated is one and the high ' is 11. This is multiplied by 3 to get the delay in seconds. ' The frog sounds coming from the peizo speaker are ' intentionally selected for volume and frequency to create ' a virtual surround sound appearing to come from every ' direction. ' Here's a readout, in seconds, of a typical program run. It shows ' the amount of snooze time in between croaks. The shortest snooze ' time is 9 seconds and the longest is about half a minute. ' Read the programs' comment to change to a longer snooze time for ' a more realistic effect! ' 12 18 24 12 15 18 33 9 27 24 33 18 24 18 33 ' 9 27 24 33 18 24 18 33 9 27 24 33 18 24 18 ' Power consumption is reduced during snoozing, so Penguin can croak ' away, probably all night! There is an additional randomness to ' the snoozing which varies with temperature, changes in battery ' voltage, and variations in manufacturing tolerances. So every ' Penguin is unique.
