I am begining to develop an OGL image that will consist of some lights that will blink at the appropriate times. I’d like to turn this image into a screen saver that runs under Win 9X, 2K and XP. Is this easily done with the OGL or would a different approach work better? (such as?).
If OGL will work, how do I do this?
Thanks

look up “coding screensavers” for windows and then just apply your opengl code appropriately.

There are 2 different approaches you can take.
- Lookup how to use the Screen Saver library that comes with the Win32 API.
- Rename your .exe to .scr, and handle the appropriate command-line parameters for the configure dialog, etc…
I typically take approach 1 myself as it handles a lot of the underlying details for you…
