screensaver

Postby exomo » Sat Oct 18, 2003 11:25 am

Does anybody know how to write a screensaver? or where I can find tuts about?

I know that screensavers are just exe renamed to scr, but I don't know what the programm should do?

Screensavers also have a few other features that should be programmed in. Here's some info.
Need information on a function I've posted? Chances are it's at the MSDN.

I think you're wrong. In our days screensavers don't save the screen any more :roll: . The new screens don't take damage if there is no screensaver.
