Conoga Screensavers Volume 1
A downloadable package
These are some retro-style screensavers that I made for fun a while back.
Windows Defender, or other anti-virus software, may detect the screensavers as harmful software. They aren't viruses, I swear. The source code for every screensaver is included in the package if you want to check for yourself and/or make your own modifications.
These screensavers were designed for use with Windows. They have not been tested on other operating systems, and are unlikely to work with them.
Included Screensavers
| Matrix | Quilt | Sunset Grid | Starfield Hyperdrive |
| •Red and green variants. •Binary trickles down from the top of the screen. •Pop-up windows with random messages drift among the binary. | •Solid and splotched variants. •A colorful square reflects off the screen edges. •Trail behind square creates a quilt-like pattern. | •Retro outrun-style screensaver. •Classic 80's moving grid. •Moving towards a distant sunrise (or sunset). •Grid changes colors periodically, sun fluctuates between orange and yellow. | •Screensaver starts with the user exiting hyperspace. •Upon exiting hyperspace, user winds up in a starfield. •Stars drift past the user from a 3-D, first-person view. |
