Could anyone supply me with information on creating a screensaver. I wan''t to write my own using visual c++ not using a screensaver creation program. Thanks
all a screensaver is is a renamed .exe file, but you need special something or others in the code... i guess im not of much use..

There are several screensaver wrappers and tutorials over at Codeguru.

Check out the screensaver source code that comes included with DirectX7. My first (and current) D3D work is based on part of the structure of that sample (I''m not into bending bananas...). Ofcourse, if you''re not into D3D, you can always study how the code is structered, then you could take a look at "screensaver.h" (although you won''t learn any wonders here) and then cut out all the useless (to you) DirectX code and start developing (and ultimetly you will probably end up altering, or re-wrighting the whole base code to fit your needs)...
