Fireworks as a Screensaver

Hi,

Someone commented that the fireworks display program might make an interesting - not to say hypnotic - screensaver.

So here it is as a screensaver  - have to thank Egil for this technique  ;D

It involves simply a few more statements to detect mouse movement, or keypresses.

The window caption is removed, and the exit button (not needed in a screensaver).

The .exe then produced is renamed to the file extension .scr.

Then by right-clicking on this file using explorer, and selecting 'install', you get a new screensaver ..   ;D

Not a bad application for a lowly interpreter is it ?

Best wishes,  :)
