A mouse trailing clock screen saver written in MFC
This project is a screen saver application that I originally started as a way to pick up C++/MFC. In the years since, I’ve added some features to it like Outlook Calendar and MAPI support for signaling when new mail arrives while the screen saver is active.
#pragma once

#include "Sprite.h"

// CHandSprite command target

//CHandSprite implements the hands of the clock

class CHandSprite : public CSprite
{
public:
	CHandSprite(const double length, const CString strText, COLORREF color, const CString delimiter = "\0");
	virtual ~CHandSprite();

//overrides and overridables
public:


protected:
	//calculates the position of the hand based on m_rTime
	virtual int CalcX(CGlyph* pGlyph);
	virtual int CalcY(CGlyph* pGlyph);

//implementation
public:
	//sets the angular position based on the
	//time value passed. time represent either and hour, minute or second
	void SetTime(const double time){ m_rTime = time; }
	//returns the angular time position
	double GetTime() const { return m_rTime; } 

	double GetLength() const {return m_rLength;}
	void SetLength(const double length){m_rLength=length;}

protected:
	double m_rLength;
	double m_rTime;		//the angular offset of the hand for the current time
};

The first computer program I ever wrote was in BASIC on a TRS-80 Model I and it looked something like:
10 PRINT "Don is cool"
20 GOTO 10

It only went downhill from there.

Hey look, I've got a blog
