Check out the UberNES Screensaver: https://ubernes.com/nesscreensaver.html
Its emulates a grid of NESes running pre-recorded game demos or their own attract modes. It's all real time emulation of an actual NES, and you can even set it up so you can take over a game in progress and play it right in your screensaver.
I just found the 3D pipes one from back in the day and I've had it installed ever since I got this laptop lol
the xscreensaver project is pretty cool, and there's apparently a windows version too (which I haven't tested yet, I currently use wallpaper engine's screensaver mode on windows)
i can't find a windows port that's remotely up to date, because apparently he's a weird bitter hypocrite about it! talkin a big game about how he objects to microsoft's business practices and ethics, but he has official ports to google and apple's at best equally evil mobile OSes. wish he had the honesty to just be up front that it's exclusively a personal grudge because, as he mentions, he worked at netscape when ms did the internet explorer thing!
if you have a link to a windows port more recent than ~2015 i'd be interested, a couple of these are interesting looking.
you might be able to build https://github.com/katahiromz/XScreenSaverWin from source? the latest release is indeed OLD, but a bunch of commits have been made since then
I might actually try it later, maybe even make it work with github actions because Why Not, I'll update with a link if I decide to do that
i don't have cmake/msvc energy today i think but thank you, i hadn't noticed. also lmao the releases are source code only anyway!
also thank you for like. not taking it upon yourself to defend that guy, i was sorta inflammatory tonally and i appreciate you just tanking that because i did not actually want to get into a conflict about it. sorry about that.
aaaaaand I got a build
(and I'm not rly a fan of jwz's attitude abt this either)
o yea, I also remembered that this exists, it's also p cool
