make shure it exits when any key is hit or mouse moved. then u could uses it as a real screen saver for windows. and if u do that, why not make it password porteced or somting cool like that. |

Here's a very long program that's probably inefficient (since I'm too lazy). It tells the time, and scrolls. It even has a password (I'm like a God). And xmen, please don't create titles that have a million punctuation marks (aka question marks). We can understand if you put just one.
There. Done. |

is there any screensvaer thats cool with 3D stuff in it? |

you could ask zylum or homer to incorporate their 3d engines into a screensave, or you can make a crappy, 3d like one where everything goes towards a point on the horizon, which isn't htat hard i think, though i haven't ried it. |

how can you make an exe into a screensave that works with windows? |

Post subject: | |
rename the .exe to .scr and put it with the rest. (i think it is .scr, have not done it in a bit) |

really? thats pretty cool. And if you do something with lines or whatever you'll probably get a cool effect. (like the random lines all over the screen prog.) |

To make a screensaver that can be used by windows, you have to have a few things on top of a sick idea for something flying around on your screen. First of all, the program has to terminate itself when the mouse is moved.
Second, the program can only have one of itself running (not too sure why, but when I set my screensaver as my turing screensaver, it would reopen itself every few seconds after the initial 1 minute wait time had triggered the original screensaver). I haven't found my way around this second problem as of yet, though I just finished making the screensaver and I haven't really put much thought into it. Anyway, here's my chunk of code I call my screensaver. Note, I did just make it, so there are probably some useless, unneeded pieces of code in there, but it looks cool (especially once it gets going) so give it a break.
Just change the value of the clr (1 to 4) in the drawdot to have the lines in different colours. Either way, have fun, and see if you can find out how to get around this second problem. If you have any luck, get back to me. MacDitty |
