For thoes of you who aren't familiar, I've been developing & refining a screensaver for Mac OS X, based off the character Torgo known from MST3K...

At any rate, I'm very new to Objective-C programming, and there are many things I'm trying to figure out. I am an experienced programmer in other languages, but Objective-C is very new to me...

My biggest problem is that I seemingly cannot learn from documentation. The easyest way for me to learn is by example. Sometimes I can find examples, and sometimes I can't...

At any rate, this is a list of things I'm trying to figure out... I'll start with the things I've currently got figured out...

DONE:

• Display images in a smaller sized - anti-aliased so I can ditch the mini images.
  
• Make everything modular based on plist files.
  
• Populate the animation choices in the nib from the program, making it completely modular.

STUFF I NEED HELP WITH:

• Use CoreAudio or QuickTime Audio to allow a volume adjustment in the screensaver...
  
• Create Animation.torgo package type files for each animation type, then have the screensaver automatically detect them.
  
• Integrate libmikmod so I can use a mod file of the Torgo Theme and save memory.
  
• Comletely clear the prevous image off the screen before drawing the next one -- To allow transparent backgrounds.
  
• Maintain the desktop on the screen as a background.

At any rate, if anybody can help me with any of these, I would greatly appreciate it.
