This screensaver source code was developed in Think C to produce Macintosh screensaver modules for After Dark® by Berkeley Systems.
You must have the After Dark Software Developers (AD SDK) kit to compile these modules. The SDK is a bundle that is freely distributed by Berkeley Systems (check Internet archives, AOL and other online sources). It includes programming examples and the libraries needed to complete your module.
Most all of my modules use routines that I've collected into a common source code file. The files util.c and util.h are these files and I've placed them in the Misc ƒ folder. You might want to peek into that file to see how to use Gestalt to check for system features, to check for a keypress, to select bright or dark colors, and other programmerly things.
I also maintain an email mailing list for After Dark module programmers. Feel free to contact me to join the list.
Take this source code and muck with it, change it, etc ... make your own modules and have fun. The best way to learn if by example - so feel free to use large chunks of this code. Thanks to Paul Celestin for the Apprentice CDs !
