alright I just wanted some clarification because I saw on one site it
mentioned that the Cocoa library could be used via either Objective C
or Java??? So I guess this means the screensavers are done in
Objective C which would also eliminate Carbon? Thanks, and yes I
embarrasingly am a newb when it comes to the mac programming sector so
please be patient with me :-)
A screensaver is a good project to start with (was my first cocoa
program too ;-). I have done several screensavers in cocoa... they
are a lot of fun to make. I am pretty (99%) sure that you cannot use
carbon (not using apple's engine anyway). It is generally advisable
to use Cocoa for any new project (carbon, as I understand it, is
there for applications with an existing code base).
Quartz Composer is also an excellent way to make a screensaver! I
highly recommend it.
As for Java, I don't know. I seem to remember this being one of the
few things which was not supported.
Thanks,
Jon
