The aim of this project is to create a MS-Windows screen saver application (a simple .scr file) that shows random images grabbed on our website. We have a collection of images on our website and want our customer to see those pictures with this screensaver.
The configuration screen of this screensaver should allow the end-user to choose between 2 collections of pictures : the complete one or the moderated one.
The screen saver should download the pictures locally in a cache folder and erase them after an amount of time (eg 1 week, configurable in the source) so that the screen saver also works offline.
The screen saver will be able to access the picture list the way you want, (eg through an xml file on our web server) but only using standard http protocol)
## Deliverables
1) Complete and fully-functional working program in .scr form, as well as complete source code of all work done, and reference to specific libraries if used.
2) Deliverable must be in ready-to-run condition, and be in one of those 2 cases : - **as a standalone single .scr file** with no library, .dll or other requirement - **as a package installer (.exe)** that install the required .dll properly and put the .scr in the windows directory. We are ok if the coder use third party libraries as long as they are open-source or, at least, free of use for any usage (even commercial). We don't need the source code of those libraries.
## Platform
- Windows 98 / ME / 2000 / XP (standard .scr file)
