ParticleFX Tech Demo and Screensaver? UPDATED 05/09/2003

[Guest gladel]

After renaming the .exe into .scr, uh, where will I place the .scr file to use it as a screensaver?

In the Screen Saver dir of Pocket Candy (so that has to be installed first...)

I was using version 1 for a screensaver (VERY NICE!!), but it sticks on alot - like, a few times last night I hit a key, & the backlight came on, but the particlefx stayed on with the eggtimer of doom flickering forever.  Had to pull battery in the end.

Would it be a fixable bug??  Coz it is the best screensaver!

Has nobody else experienced this?? Why is it always just me??? :twisted:

I have had this a few times. Seems to happen if you leave it running for a while. At the moment havn't looked into a fix for it. It is strange coz every loop it should do the calculations, draw the screen and check for screen presses. The loop obviously continues to run because otherwise the screen would freeze but for some reason it ignores he key presses. I am expecting it to be due to the target frames per second being to high but the reason i did this was to allow the demo to run at maximum speed and not set by a frame limiter.
