artificial life screensaver for windows [beta]
September 14th, 2006
Who likes beta-testing software? The author of breve (me) has just made a beta available of his breveCreatures screensaver for Windows. breveCreatures is a screensaver featuring the evolution of physically simulated virtual creatures on your desktop
He (I) would greatly appreciate any feedback you can provide!
Is it possible to make it run in a smaller window? My screen is 1600×1200 and it runs slow.
Env: Windows XP Pro Version 2002, sp2
Selecting the screensaver via Display Properties opens a blank console window titled C:\WINDOWS\breve.scr (Mini preview does show in the right place). Same occurs when clicking Settings after screensaver is selected.
Clicking Preview works correctly. Pretty. After leaving Preview, opens a blank console window titled C:\WINDOWS\breve.scr (probably just calling the mini preview again).
When screen saver activates normally all is okay, doesn’t leave a console window.
Summary: looking good, except console windows whenever the system executes the exe.
