ScreenSaver and LWJGL

[sir_wojciech]

Hi, I'd like to create a ScreenSaver with LWJGL, but dunno where to begin... Should I write my own screensaver api or are there any existing ones (using lwjgl)?

If by "screensaver api" you mean the api to allow the OS to think that the program is a real screensaver app that can be run after (x) amount of time, then highly unlikely. I would think you would need to write it yourself.
I wonder if its even possible. :? Probably not in pure Java.
Anyone else can chime in here.  :lol:

A screensaver (scr) is just an exe which responds to specific command line switches.

There is such a project over at sf.net
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jssaver/

And I also wrote something like that many moons ago... with the same name... duh. Unfortunately it only seems to work correctly with win9x.
