Jamagic3D SCREEN SAVER!

Download this project file and compile as a Screensaver.   If you got an interesting Desktop, pass a "TRUE" as the first parameter in the "Run(TRUE);" function to grab the desktop as the environmental mapping texture for the ball!

You can create a INI file in the Windows directory called "Netclubmedia.ini", create a Group called [RBallSS] and create an item named "DesktopImage=1".

I was toying around the idea of creating a mirror effect by creating a second world inside the checkered ball, but it needs serious optimization to improve the framerate.  Anyways, if you want to give it a try, pass "TRUE" as the second parameter in the "Run(FALSE,TRUE);" function to create a second world into the environmental mapping texture of the ball.

You can activate this function using the INI file mentioned before, by adding an item named "MirrorImage=1" and setting DesktopImage to 0.

If you only got the Jamagic Demo, you can't compile as a screensaver but still you can watch this interesting screensaver.

Rolling Ball Screensaver

//Rolling Ball 3D Screensaver Sep 2001
// Create a INI object
iniFile = New Ini("Netclubmedia.ini");
bDsktImg = iniFile.GetIntValue("RBallSS", "DesktopImage",0);
bMirrImg = iniFile.GetIntValue("RBallSS", "MirrorImage",0); 

//Run the screensaver
myScreenSaver=New RollingScreensaver();
myScreenSaver.Run(bDsktImg,bMirrImg);

Delete iniFile;

//LOOP
While(1);
End();
