Bascically You have to use the delay command in C. delay(no. of seconds);
And repeat some pattern
As far as tutorial is concerned use some good search engine

You might down load the source to Xscreensaver and look at some of the existing applications. Most are just normal graphics programs written using the X windows graphic display functions.
