    Post Give my screensavers feedback

    I am working on a series of simple screensavers, please tell me what you think.

    Although I only have 2 right now, I'm making more.

    Take some screenshots and upload them! I can't use the screensavers on this computer.

    Oh, and maybe you should provide a way for programmers interested in your source code to contact you . . . .

    I want to give your screensaver some feedback but I can't seem to find its email address...

    I just added 3 more, and an email address. When I say give feedback I mean here on the board. (or through email is fine)

    Now there are screenshots, but don't judge them by the screenshots, they look a lot better in animation. (Heh, the file size of the screenshots are bigger than the screensavers them selfs.)

    PNG is slightly smaller, at least for the image I tried . . . I just like PNG.

    The fifth one isn't exactly a hex screen saver, eh?

    Pretty cool, although the 5th doesn't really fit in the series

    I can't tell from the screenshots if you're using GDI or something like openGL, if it's the later -- considered Linux ports? I wouldn't mind having the last one.

    I'm using GDI, I was going to use OpenGL, but I was too lazy.
