Ironcoder 5 is on.

The API is the “ScreenSaver.framework” API.

The theme is: “Life“

You have until 5PM CST on Sunday, April 1st (April Fools Day) to submit your entries. Submit your entries here: http://ironcoder.org/contest/

Winners will be announced after 5PM CST on Sunday.

Come to the #macsb channel on irc.freenode.net if you have any questions or send email to “chairman at ironcoder.org”.

More information on the API here: Screensaver Framework Reference If you’ve never written a screensaver before this might be your chance to do something a little bit different. But don’t forget, just because the API may be ScreenSaver.framework that doesn’t mean you need to write a ScreenSaver…

This might help you debug a screensaver (or provide other inspiration): www.cocoadev.com

Example Screensavers: www.jwz.org

Great OpenGL Screensaver Resource: www.reallyslick.com

Lots of screensavers here, with source: www.epicware.com

Excellent tutorial on writing screen savers: www.macedition.com

SaverLab: dozingcatsoftware.com

You’re cheating if you submit this: mikeash.com

Maybe you want to put a custom view in a Screen Saver. Mark Dalrymple will tell you how to write one.
