Introduction

While I was going back to my parents’ home, I had 6 hours to kill in the train.

I had no internet nor any way to charge my laptop so I decided to work on something simple with libraries that my pc already had downloaded.

Items

• A laptop with a linux environment installed (NixOS)
• A charger with no power socket nearby
• A C compiler (gcc)
• A graphical library (SFML)

With that in mind I had an idea that seemed trivial and not too long to implement.

A Screen saver made in C

Steps

I organized the project in the following small steps:

1. Initialize a simple window
2. Create an argument parser
3. Create a tick rate system
4. Implement a simple screen saver algorithm
