The Shining Screensaver - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Today at uni (Linux system), i found that one of the screensavers (randomly assigned) on the computer was a rip from the movie The Shining, in which it types out the text "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" (paraphrasing?) in different formats.

Anyway, i wonder if any one out there knew if there was a windows version of it?

or a means to port the linux one (if it was an opengl ap or something?)

cheers

I remember that in The Shining, but I have no leads...

I have that one running on my computer (in random w/ a few others). Gotta love The Shining.

Anyways... it's part of the xscreensaver program/pack of screensavers. From the XScreensaver webpage:

Attention Windows users: There is no Windows version of xscreensaver, and there never will be. Please stop asking. That goes double for the ``xmatrix'' mode. No. The answer is no. I don't use any Microsoft products and neither should you.
