Do like this as an idea... got some great line ups from previous meets, as well as some smart individual photos, wonder how easy it is to code one up...

EDIT: Just found some visual C++ stuff... lets see what we can do. Coursework due for Friday, but any pictures you want included, erm, put links to here, and I'll see what I can do.

Well, I was up a bit last night, as I thought I'd have a go, I've got a screensaver of Kar now, which I can make bounce around the screen if I feel so inclined. Only thing I havn't got round to doing is making the pictures change. Oh, yeah, and learning Visual C++, but that doesn't seem to be needed...

Can't you do a simple blend from one pic to annother without any programming...

Just looking in my Screensavers there's automatically a My Pictures screensaver that randomly chooses imgs from My pictures, perhaps there's a wizard out there to do a similar thing with images in a specified folder. We could then choose to add more at any time, or remove ones we don't want, such as over stickered ones. eh Mick ;)

What... not build it from teh ground up?!?! But that would save time and effort, and... yeah, probably a good idea. I'll see what I can come up with, I've been meaning to branch into c++ for a while so can't be a bad thing. Us electronics peeps only do C usually, with some assy thrown in.
