I would like to know is there any DLL, or is it possible to have a DLL which will shake the whole screen, the whole monitor screen, not only the game window. That means when it shake, everything included the desktop would shake together.

If there anything like this?

If there anything like this?

1) Why ? Just put your game in full-screen mode and the whole screen will shake.

2) It could (would!) interfere with the users ability to manage other programs on his desktop, so it would be less-than-desirable.

I don't think there is anything for this, but one way you could do it is take a screenshot in gm, and then draw it wobbling about

You wouldn't get anycontrol over the game while this was happening but you might not need it...

Take a screenshot programmatically of the desktop, and use it for your fullscreen program as a background

Since I saw there is a dll which able to set your monitor gamma, brightness. So I think I might be some dll that worked to shake the monitor screen.

[uuf6429]

That's kind of different. Getting the gamma is just a setting, but shaking the screen is much more code whcih basically gets the surface (DC) for the screen and paints it in different positions making it seem shake.

Do you mean the degauss feature of the screen?

[Formina_Sage]

Though it would be funny to make someone's monitor degauss itself, he means he wants the onscreen image to shake. And yes, taking a screenshot would probably be the simplest way of doing this.
