True Windows screensaver - Antoni Gual - 09-16-2005
Do a true Windows screensaver in Freebasic, one that people can truly use.
You can use Jofers' Screensaver Kit. http://www.betterwebber.com/stuff/FB_ScreenSaverKit.zip to avoid having to mess with the windows API, or you can work it out for yourself.
The only condition is it must work when renamed as *.scr and previewed in the Win Screensaver panel. Don't need to be configurable, but it must be usable...
This is the FBN thread where Jofers presented the kit http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1173

Okay.. I got this kit, but it says I'm missing the Windows.bi ?
I looked thru my files, I have a Windows.h, but no .bi ?
:-?

I think you'll need .15 for this. It doesn't work under .14.

It seems I started this to soon....
Yes, I forgot I have the latest headers from the CVS. Probably it would work changing the includes to the old kernel -user -gdi
If someone having v 0.14 can try it and works, here we go. If it does'nt work, as most people will not be willing to get an unstable version, let's pospone it until v0.15 is official.
I think it will be a great challenge..

Being a new denizen of this community, I'm not sure how you go about judging contest entrants, but it seems to me that having some guidelines to follow would make it a lot easier to compare/contrast them.

And I'll probably be entering as well - what are the deadlines?
