Can you somehow copy the code directly into QBasic? Looks cool btw! Too bad QBasic programs can't be used as screen savers :)

Actually, with QuickBasic you can compile it into an .exe, and then probably turn it into a .scr...

I can't even tell what language that's in. (And you don't have to paste it in; just save it and open it from within QB!)
