Socoder -> Wednesday Workshop -> #154 - The Screensaver Challenge
Tue, 03 Jun 2008, 16:10
Jayenkai	#154 - The Screensaver Challenge This week's challenge was suggested by Tikihead, and was then picked by DiablosDevil! The Challenge Make a Screensaver.. A nice easy challenge, and a rarity in that it's not actually Game related, thus opening up a whole extra window of useless non-game related workshops. Nngh.. The Time Wed 4th June -> 11th June, 2008 You have until this timer hits zero to complete your entry. For the record, that's Tue/Wed, midnight GMT. The Rules You're free to reuse functions here and there, if it helps speed up your dev-time. Old art and audio, are pretty much expected, since we don't all have time to create fully working masterpieces within the space of a week! Other than that, the main coding for each week's task should be pretty much created within the time allocated. If you use other people's art/sound/functions, give credit where credit's due. To enter, post your game below. If you can't find anywhere decent to host it, send it to Jayenkai@Gmail.com Additional rules are available here. Last Week Last week, Only Me!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

dna	Hey Jay, I don't see how you code get interrupted during a key press. I pressed keys and it kept going, that's not a screen saver. ** The Virtual tree seems to work like a screensaver although I have not let my laptop idle long enough for it to engage aside from the first time after you double click on the app file. What is the timer set to? -=-=- DNA
