Can Blitz3D make screensavers? How do I figure out what parameters Windows is calling my screesaver with?

Yes.. I made my own, at least.

If you rename an .exe to a .scr it will be a screensaver. Place it in windows\system32. Beware that it will be called with some different parameters depending on if the user is testing it, or it shall produce a small demo screen or... Dunno how to make it make such a demo screen, info must be available somewhere.

I think there might be a tut on creating screensavers over at blitzcoder. Or somewhere at least - I remember someone else talking about it back along. Could try searching these forums for 'screensaver' and see what comes up.
