Hi Alok
google this "make screensaver in linux". You'll find out how.

sourceforge.net has quite a few screensaver projects as well whose
code you can see.
You can also see the screensavers already on your system (and the ones
similar to the one you want).
Their code will be available as well for you to see.
Many of them are in opengl, java but there are many others also.
