Question about the Screensaver Toolkit

[m00nlit]

Reading the pdf that (almost) comes with the toolkit, says that I have to model.

Say I wanted to make it easier. Let's say I create an ani-gif I want to convert. Is there a possibility? This would be much easier for the beginner when it comes to making their very own product they actually can use.

Thanks for your time.

Uhm.. Thinking about what I wrote made me want to delete the post, but.. hehe (c:

Of course I meant Animated Screensavers. Tried to look it up searching posts on the forum, but couldn't come up with a proper answer.

Thanks again! Roger

Hi
I recompile your sample
and it doesn't display correctly

problem is in draw procerure

you get a new random position
and clear screen
so, when you at the next time get random position and clear screen again
the previous one remains unclear

I think it should be something like this

TInt CScreensaverPlugin::Draw(CWindowGc& aGc)
{
...
  	TRect clearArea = TRect(TPoint(0,pos.iY-KActiveDisplayAreaOffsetUp-1), TPoint(KScreenSizeX,pos.iY+KActiveDisplayAreaOffsetDown+1));
	// Initialize graphic settings
	InitializeGraphics(aGc, iPrevArea);
	// remember this area to erase it in the next draw
	iPrevArea = clearArea;
...
}

I try this but it still doesn't work

May be I missed something but for beginners real working code is very important.


Thanks to everybody who can patch examples
