hDC Windows Manager includes (among many other features) three
different styles of screen savers for Microsoft Windows.  One
is called "Polygons" which displays "streaming" polygons in
various colors on a black background.  The user can control
the number of polygons in the stream and the number of sides
per polygon.  The second is called "Rocks" and displays an
animated asteroid field which the user can navigate through
with the mouse.  The third type of screen saver lets the user
paste in a bitmap of choice which is then "bounced" around the
screen.
