Day 27 - Code Saver

**** Code updated - fixed issue causing screen saver not to exit

It's a screensaver, for code! It displays the *.cs (HAHA) code contained in the subdirectory and randomly changes every 30 seconds (I think... It's late...). Download the app, extract all files to a directory, and right click the ".scr" file. You should have "test" and "install" options - which work as advertised.

The download includes ALL AnAppADay.com source code flattened into the subdirectory. So out of box, it'll display all my code. I wanted to make it scroll the code and such, but I'm pooped. I didn't screenshot as it's a pain to screenshot a screensaver. It's late and I haven't slept in a while. Enjoy!

Download the screensaver here
Download the source here


Download DaemonCollector's modded version here (don't blame me)
This sweet mod makes the text for the code type itself onto the screen. It also has configuration options for text color, and code location. While the "debug" mode didn't work for me (Vista B2), word has it that on XP enabling that feature causes it to open random binaries and print the ASM! Wow!

rats...it won't work on my XP pro sp2.
the error box say it "...has encountered a problem and needs to close."

I've enjoyed several other progs though!!

thanks.

On my system with two monitors, when I move the mouse or hit a key the screensaver only goes away on the monitor that was last active, and won't go away from the other monitor. I have to kill the AnAppADay.CodeSaver.ScreenSaver.scr process.

it's really easy to take a screenshot. Just wait for the screensaver to come up and when it does press Print Screen. open paint and press ctrl + v and your done (aside from saving).

too bad this only supports .cs files. My whole codebase is in java.
