Little screensaver I wrote just now

[GfK]

Download it and give it a go. I got bored, and its free.

Requires DirectX 7 or higher, which most people will have installed anyway. When I get around to adding a configuration screen I'll include an option to switch between DirectX and OpenGL.

ARRGGHHH! I have an inherent dislike of screensavers (Haven't used them since about 98), and I just have to see this one now

Bet it's too good and I have to wrestle with my conscience. :razz:

Hey, that's great GFK Duly saved as my new screensaver as it's much better than the one I had

 

[leoedin]

seeing as you create screensavers, can you make one that somehow uses the images linked in TP?

 

[GfK]

Its possible...

[edit]

Uploaded a new build. The 'settings' button now displays a standard Windows message when pressed instead of just not responding.

No need to re-download/install - hardly a massive issue.

Installed...nice work!

Very nice, my favourite screensaver has to be the cable clock by Andre Michelle...

It used to be just a flash animation on a web page. now it's a screensaver.

What he hasn't told you all is that in the background, whilst the screensaver is running, all your best photo's are disappearing off your hard-drives........one.....by..........one........MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
