[ros-dev] screensavers

[Casper Hornstrup]

I have written a DirectDraw 8 snowfall application once. Black screen,
lots of white pixels falling down to the bottom of the screen, until
the screen is all filled with snow. It's written in Borland Turbo Assembler (don't ask)
and the source code is about 20KB in size (not including the DirectDraw interface
code). If someone wants to rewrite it in C and make it a screensaver, I'll be
happy to send you the source code.
