My first BlitzMax project has been completed. It's just a screensaver (nothing terribly exciting). If people could test it out for me and tell me how it runs on their machines, that would be great. DOWNLOAD: http://files.filefront.com/DEMO+SETUPexe/;9313456;/fileinfo.html

Looks nice! The name sounds like a crash though lol.

Works fine here, with firefox opened and music playing in winamp. Just tried it through the display properties panel to give it a quick look. Runs rather smoothly. Cool wave effect ! config: WinXP, AMD 2400, Geforce 6200, 256 MB SDRAM.

Thanks! Anything I need to add or change or remove? Or is everything right as it is?

Moraldi (Posted 2007) [#5]

Works fine in my PC In my opinion is a little bit monotonous. Do you have any plans to add more graphic effects?

Ked (Posted 2007) [#6]

I was thinking about adding another type of bomb: light bomb. Which would have a good deal of effects.

Ked (Posted 2007) [#7]

I decided to add the new bomb anyway. Re-download to see what you think.

Moraldi (Posted 2007) [#8]

Better by far! I like very much your explosions

Ked (Posted 2007) [#9]

Thanks, Moraldi!

Hey looks cool. Downloading now. Edit: This is really cool! I like the bombs better then the dynamite thingys... It runs really smooth and fast though.

Ked (Posted 2007) [#11]

Terry R.: Thanks! Is that it? Am I ready to post a release version?

Ked (Posted 2007) [#12]

*UPDATE* 1. New Light Bomb image 2. New Light Bomb explosion Let me know how every goes! Updated link at the top.

Still runs well. i like it :) how about making even more bigger explosions sometimes or drop hundreds of small dynamites at once, make the screen really shake and fill it with explosions everywhere, ... you could make it really devastating !

Moraldi (Posted 2007) [#14]

Still like it. No problems while running

Ked (Posted 2007) [#15]

*UPDATE* I added a mini dynamite stick that comes down in fours and has an enlarged explosion. I think I'm done updating it and am ready to release it. How should I price it? Link updated at the top. Let me know if it lags any, because its a possibility now.

I am trying to set up Plimus for this screensaver and I'm not sure what to do. Could someone give me a run-down on how I am supposed to set it up? Thanks
