It could be used on programming contests for example The plan is to create a screen saver. What it would be alike: Make for example 12 shaped of characters. With random number generator pick a place on screen and draw the shape. Then find next shape and position, that does not match first one. Make a smooth points moving from one shape to another. Then find next position and continue the process. The process continues until somebody stops the screen saver. With best wishes, Kristjan Robam Tel: 372 6861327
