screensaver

Definitely won't be a CPU saver though

fun fact, most old screensavers were super resource-intensive.

Yeah, I remember a few of the Win98 ones.

Which one would be harder on the old processors though? Pipes, or the one in which it put a moving magnifying glass or bubbles on an image of the current desktop?

[-] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 8 hours ago

i think pipes was opengl and swirl was software, so probably the latter

[-] ulterno@programming.dev 0 points 3 hours ago

On a Pentium 2 without Voodoo, both would be software

[-] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 hours ago

did pipes even work without a graphics driver? i know maze didn't
