ScreenSaverSnow

Screen saver "Snow" in Java. Simple implementation of the movement of snowflakes.

The program is compiled as an "almost" full screen saver for the Windows platform.

Principle of operation

• A home screen is created in Swing.JFrame.
• An array of snowflakes is created.
• The events to exit the program are described.
• The cycle starts (rendering, movement of snowflakes, rendering).

Features

• The program is configured through the command line. Reads commands at startup as Windows screensaver.
• The application can be built as EXE for Windows through the maven builder (launch4j-maven-plugin). Then rename the EXE file to SCR and place it in the Windows directory. Then the savers are displayed in Windows screensavers. (Important! The "/ p" switch is disabled; it does not work in Java.)

How to run and compile

For ease of assembly and compilation, Maven is used (in pom.xml the settings for this project).

• mvn compile assembly:single - Compile an executable JAR file.
• mvn install - Rebuild the project completely (an EXE file will be created).
• java -jar Snow.jar - Run Snow.jar in the Java machine.
