Re: How to turn scratch projects into screensavers

Do you know if a .saver is just a .app like a .scr is an .exe?

Re: How to turn scratch projects into screensavers

I wonder if it would be possible to make a game as a screensaver, somebody should make a simple platformer using arrow keys, and using the space key to close out the screen saver.

Wait, I made the close scratch block, but if you open a project with that in it in BYOB then the block appears as obsolete.

No. You have to add the block in byob. I believe pecola1 made a tutorial on how to do so.

Nice information man thanks for sharing

Re: How to turn scratch projects into screensavers

Strange. You know there is a glitch where projects with long names dont compile correctly. Have you tried my fish screensaver?

Re: How to turn scratch projects into screensavers

see if the install works on that. If not, it might be something with your settings.  hmm

You might want to try it, but make sure the publisher is reliable. Search for ".scr to .saver  converter"

Wine. That lets you open Windows screensavers if renamed to .exe extension.

Re: How to turn scratch projects into screensavers

My screensaver called Gobo.
Download
To install download it. Right click it. Click install.
In Control Panel, do NOT click Settings. It makes it run twice. Same with preview. To preview it, double click the .scr file.
_____Description:_____
Gobo talks silently.
When you move the mouse, Gobo slows down, and finally random text appears at the bottom of the screen for some reason, and BYOB crashes.

Re: How to turn scratch projects into screensavers

thats pretty good. To make it close without having to crash, try hacking into byob and putting in a "close scratch" block. i think pecola1 made a tutorial on how to hack byob.  big_smile
