Hi, I know that there is an option to save a project as a screen saver. However there is also a check box to not end it when there is input onto the system. Duse that mean that you should be able to make an interactive screen saver.

Like if you left the computer the game would start itself up and you could play it for a little while. Then just press excape or something to go back to what you were doing. Is that right?

Any way, I've been muddling around with it and can't seem to get it to work. Has any one tryed this? Can you tell me how to get it working. I think it would be cool to have a game saver.

As far as i know there is no way to have an interactive screen saver. i think this is inherent from Windows itself.

That's what I was afraid of. It dus kind of leave me wondering why they would put it in there if it dusn't work. I mean from what I remember it was in there from way back in the Game Factory 1 days. Maybe you have to change a seating in windows.

Wasn't there this setting in Application Options which wouldn't close the screensaver on mouse movement/keyboard input? I think there was in MMF2.

Yes, there is. I maid a small program just to test it out. Just to see if I could make a simple game/screen saver. It didn't work witch is why I started this thread.

But then I tryed it agen and it worked!? So maybe it's just a little finicky.
