| Boiled Sweets are proud announce the release of Watchaball 1.03! What's new? • Added 3 new balls, eyeballs, 2006 World Cup footballs and Christmas tree baubles. • The option to select the down, inbound and drops themes was not working – fixed. • The option to select a specific background was not working – fixed.  Watchaball is a truely mesmerising and watchable 3D screen saver! Watching Watchaball whilst it constantly spews balls made of various materials onto platforms, spring boards, rotating paddles and other animated objects never becomes tiring especially as they all behave with totally accurate physics. Bouncy balls bounce, metal balls skid and fall with a thud, even tennis balls become fun to watch as they collide with each other, everything around them and sometimes even explode in a burst of smoke and flame! Watchaball is highly configurable and can even run in interactive mode! What are you waiting for? Start watching balls with Watchaball...

| Looking at the screenshot - whats the point of having a screensaver where a large amount of the screen is still static (your desktop)? |
| ||
| ITS AN OPTION! Lots of screen "savers"" allow this feature. Lets not start the are screen savers worth it etc AGAIN!?!?!??!?!?!?! |
| ||
| Heh, calm down! :) Gfk's point is valid: the point of a screensaver is to have no static imagery, so as not to burn an image onto the screen. Not like that's a big problem, anyways... However, most 'screensavers' seem to be more about entertainment these days, so you're not alone. A proper screensaver should just make the screen black. :) |

| Oh, stop criticizin him. It looks great. Frankly I would prefer to see the desktop for a screensaver like this. |
| ||
| Sorry for having an oppinion. Jeez. |
| ||
| Oh, stop criticizin him It was a point of view, not criticism.Personally I'd prefer a screensaver to actually save my screen. Each to their own. |
| ||
| I don't like the arrangement of the icons on the destktop and that 'text' one in the upper centre is just asking for a slap. The 'Skype' one is showing a certain cheekyness that I like. The grass in the lower meadow clearly needs cutting. |
| ||
| Get back on thread or go somewhere else. The thread is not about the validity of screen savers. ;-) |
| ||
| Yeah, but... Oh, nevermind. :p |
| ||
| Can I have the code for this? |
| ||
| No |
| ||
| I think you should add another ball - a Christmas pudding ball. However, it was my idea. |
| ||
| Looks great... could you add a rugby ball? |
| ||
| It uses the Tokamak physics library which only has support for spheres, cubes and cylinders I'm afraid :-( |

| [I have returned after post restored balance] Nice looking, I would probably buy but I'm short of spare cash.(Merry Christmas too you too) |
