Last week I went to see the X-Men movie and I couldn't stick my thumbs
up high enough. It was great! I know basically nothing about the X-Men
besides the fact that its something I know basically nothing about,
but I've had heaps of requests for a screen saver. I had a look round
after seeing the movie and found nothing but boring looking slide shows.
(I didn't actually download any tho so if you wrote one and are offended
by the term "boring looking slide show" please don't take it personally.
I'm not talking about yours..)
Anyway, I really liked the map table effect in the movie and decided
to try it out. It worked well and looked wicked but it was slower than
giving birth to a fully grown goat. So I fiddled with it and ended up
with this. It really looks more like an ice formation now but I still
think it looks kinda cool, even if it is really just another slide show...
As always email me if you like it, hate it, ate it for breakfast etc.
Btw, this is still kinda slow if you don't have a 3D accelerator card.
But try it out and judge for yourself.
Enjoy!
P.S. This uses the continuingly wonderous OpenGL graphics library. If
you're using an old version of Windows 95 you may need to install them.
But fear not, you can get them from our good *cough* friends at Microsoft:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/opengl95.exe
You'll know if you need it because you'll have emailed me without reading
this complaining that you're getting DLL errors.....
