Ok, im total noob with linux, but i like to program things (mostly useless ones...lol) and there is one ASCII demo i made and i would like to use it as a screen saver.

So, how i could use that demo as a screen saver, do i need to add code on that demo what quits it if key is pressed or mouse moved or does linux regignize itself?

This (http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#writing-savers) may help :) Basically, I think you will have to rewrite or at least modify your program to use xscreensaver libraries ..
