You use it the same way as you would Scratch.

For the screensaver:

Chirp wrote:

The Windows installer adds a screensaver named "Chirp" to the list of available screensavers, which can be activated in the Windows control panel. It will run a random project from the Scratch-projects folder each time it runs.

Re: screensaver

All you have to do is make the scratch project an exe file (please search it yourself) and then change the extension to .scr.
