Swarm3D Screensaver        
 Remco de Korte - 2001

version 1.0

Short Info
----------

This screensaver has little to do with another
screensaver I made, called Swarm, except that it
has flying insectoids in it.
In the other screensaver they were represented
by a couple of grey pixels, here they are
rendered after a (non-realistic) 3d model.

To run Swarm3D you'll need Win95, Win98, WinNT 
or Win2000.

Swarm3D.exe will install the screensaver to a 
directory of your choice. Run this program again 
to uninstall the saver.


Options
-------

Background
  you can choose to hide your desktop by a 
  skyblue background

Anti-aliasing
  it looks better if this is on, but it may
  slow down the screensaver and eat CPU-power.

Number of insectoids
  with a maximum of 64, which is not advisable
  on most systems. If you have a fast system
  with a good videocard and you think you can
  have more then 64 sprites, let me know and
  I'll change the maximum.


Versions
--------

v1.0 
  - is the first release of the completed 
  saver. Not really thoroughly tested yet.
