Hey sorry for the double post, but this is totally different from my previous one. (If I'm not allowed, just let me know.)

In my assignment I have to create 5 screen savers, by hand.

My mind has gone blank, I can't think of anything relativly easy. I have a simple ball bouncing and swimming fishies, but I need something that looks pretty complicated and uniques but won't be too hard to make, lol. I'd love any sugestions.

On another note: On my school computer Font.Color (#) works but at home it doesn't, does anyone know which one you have to use in version 4.0?

Thanks for your time!

I don't know turing, but if you rename an .exe to .scr you have a screen saver, so that might help to know in case you did not.

Only problem is stuff like the settings, it will just execute the screen saver instead, you need to program it to support that and I've never done it.

If you haven't done it, I doubt I'll get even close lol. Right now it's just a program and you get to chose a screen saver (a looping animation) lol!

Oh so it does not need to be a real screen saver that will go in the windows screen saver settings?

Should be easy enough to do then, if you know turing graphics and I've seen some of the code and it looks simple enough, way more simple the C++ that's for sure. You need a few thousand lines of code just to get a triangle on the screen. LOL

lol, ya it's pretty simple, I sould reprase this then, fake screen savers, lol. It is pretty easy I just wish their was a triangle draw thing or something close to that, I hate having to draw the lines separtly and then use the for command to fill it.

<ol type='1'><li>Make the first few thousand characters of π fill up the screen! </li><li>Go around the world and show the current time and date at a few locations.</li><li>Make a quiz. Have the screensaver put a question and maybe some choices, wait a few seconds, and then put up the answer.</li></ol>
That’s all I can think of right now. I hope that inspires you!
