Pusheen Screensaver

Is it a good idea to write a screensaver in Java? Probably not. Nevertheless, this is the language that I knew in high school, and so this is what I wrote it in.

Usage

For the most part, either compile to a jar or download the pre-built jar and run it. If you want to set it as your screensaver on windows, download a jar to exe program, convert the jar to an exe, and set the screensaver to the exe.

Functionality

Shows Pusheen walking back and forth on the bottom of your screen. He will occasionally stop and do things. Automatically takes up the full screen. To exit, move the mouse.

Project Layout

• Pusheen.java is the main class that kicks everything off. It gets the screen dimensions, creates a new instantiation of itself (which is an implementation of a DoubleBufferedCanvas), and sets up a mouseListener to kill the program upon mouse movement. It also contains the logic for tracking Pusheen, making him do things, and painting the canvas.
• DoubleBufferedCanvas.java is a more rudimentary implementation of the DoubleBufferedCanvas that appears in Dodge. It is my personal implementation of a pseudo-double buffered canvas and an abstract Runnable interface. The constructor must be supplied a desired fps target, and the DoubleBufferedCanvas will attempt to match that rate.
