My New Aquarium Screensaver - give it a try!

[wrewing73]

Got this error this morning:

[amr_01]

Filed this one under G really quick. Sorry I refuse to use a screensaver that REQUIRES internet access to use. Denying access crashed it.

i blocked the outgoing connection, and the screensaver still worked fine.

Got this error this morning:

me too.

[aberflasm]

here are the hotkeys (not documented anywhere yet)

F - feed the fish

L - change camera formatting

1,2,3 - add fish

D - delete last fish added

W - wireframe / solid

C - fish collisions on/off

and one other key has a very special EASTER EGG! i won't tell you which one or what it is... ;)

Awesome!!! I found the easter egg. neat!! I won't tell.

also :

P- Updates

B- changes bubbles settings

S- ? (i think its supposed to be sounds or speed but it freezes the fish while pressed)

Works great for me! Very smooth and fast to load! I hope you make a version that has Goldfish in it! Thats my fav screen saver is the Goldfish one! :)

Awesome Screen Saver BTW!!!

On dual monitor how do I press hotkeys on my other monitor? or can't I?

the easter egg is good. Any way I can change the "one", so to speak?

i think "s" might take a screen cap.

not for me.

1, 2, or 3

[lnmnky]

1, 2, or 3

That makes the "one" the newest fish until the tank is full. Good enough for now.

To creator : Any chance of a cycle feature on the easter egg?

It's cool, I'm digging it. Excellent work, and many thanks!

[cub-x]

sweet eyecandy! tnx for testing!

I also tried other aquarium SS's,

but this one has the potential to be very lonely... lonely at the top ofcourse :D!

[Achal]

its REALLY good, and i know it must be hard to make but could u try adding different kinds of fish?

He's already said he will... This is still a beta version and he's said he's working on the architecture and getting all the infrastructure done FIRST. Then he can work on new fish... And different fish will behave differently too. :)

Best looking screen saver i've ever seen, but I uninstalled it because it has that dreamaquarium.com text in the bottom. It totally ruins it.

Indeed.

Hi all,

The graphics are great

A suggestion would be to add an option on/off for "Exit on mouse move"

Happy to test it

[gshapiro]

Runs smooth as a babies behind at 1280x1024, 6xaa/16xaf.

What would really set this aquarium apart is having Piranha in the tank. Feeding would be a LOT more interesting. :D

[cyclingplatypus]

Great SS, I would also like to see a Mac version. I'd also like to see the option to remove the branding.

[dragon2611]

nice, should document the controls somewhere.

out of interest what exactly does that beta testing checkbox actally do?

Heh... That'd be awesome... Maybe in the PAID version... Haha.

It definitely would be realistic to have fish eating other fish... It happens in every home aquarium doesn't it? :)

Forget fish eating fish. I was thinking about dropping in some little critters. Maybe even the fingers of the guy feeding them.

[suicide_pact]

Very cool, thanks very much!

[PabUK Veteran]

Very nice. Watching it has made me sleepy. :)

[Pettor]

Wow!

I have never ever used any screensaver except ATI's because the most screensavers are ugly and booring. This is just what i needed. The screensaver i ever seen i must say. The graphics are great and everything is just "wow!". And the best part, it's free!

The deal is just great: get the best screensaver out there, for no money at all!

[techbeck]

Couple things...

Doesnt do full screen at 1280x1024

Also, i got this lovely error msg...see attached
