I need to investigate a type of screensaver/ virtual pet for a client and wasnt sute how to go about it.
It would be some kind of creature/ character that moved around your desk top, the key is that other applicaton must still run.
I could 'come to life' during inactivity and go to 'sleep' when using the computer, but would prefer it not to be as rigid as this.
Perhapsd you could input variable to decide how active it was?
The important thing is that it doesnt fill your screen in the way a trad screen saver does.
Now I know this isnt the most original idea, but I just need an idea of how to do it.
Is VB best for this? Director? C++? Any ideas?
