Strange... I'm getting blank pages for both of those links. Is there something I should be doing to see them?

Suho1004: I have no problem to access the page with FF0.8, MZ1.6, IE5.01 -> 6.0, and I doubt that InI restricted the access, if he did, there would have been no point to post the pong in the Asylum.

InI: That's a promising volley. I'll work on mine today.

A shy 2nd volley, but don't worry it's just the warm up.

Nice work guys.. This is all completely new to me

:::tao::: ::cell::

Very cool. I hope this picks up (the whole Javascript pong idea). I'd love to play a few matches, but unfortunately I'll be out of town until late August starting Friday
Maybe when I get back this fall I'll have time to get in on it (hopefully it'll still be going on then).

Looks great so far you two, keep it up

Thank you guys. I must admit that the idea popped in InI's mind. And since I'm not in Java, I couldn't really get in a JavaPong.
I hope the recent friendly contests in the DHTML forum will motivate some inmates to code some little toys.

I wondered if I should comment the code in my volley, and gave up in regard of the small number of lines. Nonetheless if it sounds useful or necessary, we could make the little effort to comment the code in the next volleys.

Nice improvements. I like the direction it's taking, and yes the 3 updates rules seems to work like a charm.
Here comes the 4th volley.

"major" updates :

• dynamic rotation with inertia
• wobbling effect
• slowly flickering color intensity

minor updates :

• made the centering work in both X and Y
• added the ASCII code of the characters in the DIVs to give them a periodic table look

Alas the perfomances of Mozilla's rendering engine drops drastically when the number of elements to update increase. And I'm not even talking about Firefox. That's the sad reality, thoughI pray for a perfomance boost since the betas of Mozilla.

Ok, no problem. You said the rounds in the JavaPong lasted 2-3weeks, so I could wait several days.

Excellent work guys!!! One thing that bothers me though is when I right click I keep getting the popup menu. Can you block that?

Sorry guys... I posted that little bit up there and then forgot to come back here. I'm using IE6 on Win XP, no proxy. However, I can see the latest incarnation of the program. Very nice.

Great! I had also kept an idea in my bag for a next volley I wouldn't be surprised if we both thought about the same thing. Time will tell us.

Pretty cool you guys...

I was just browsing and noticed this. It's very cool, and I like the way it's progressing.
Good job, both of you.




...Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most (ozzy osbourne)

Thanks to everybody for the feedback. I've been busy with another site lately, but I'll work in the 6th volley after some hours of sleep.

The updates in the 6th volley are :

• transformed the square in a long wobbling ribbon
• replaced the squares of color by some resizing sprites using a canvas method
• brought back the writing in the form of a scrolling
• removed the interaction between the mouse and the angle of the whole thing ( it already moves enough )

Hope you'll enjoy it.

Tested in IE5.01+, MZ1.6+, OP7.50

Hehe, I wanted to give a twist to the pong. Oh, and I've mirrored all the volleys on my site too, just in case.

this is cool. you guys rock.

InI: It's funny to see you reacting to the implementation of a feature 2 days later
The canvas method is used in many JS games, including 3D TOMB ( I and II ). It avoids to swap the image and saves some bytes since there's a single image. There's 2 ways to implement it, either by embeding the IMG in a DIV and using the overflow of the DIV, or with just an IMG and using its clip property. But the clip way is a bit tricky and require to touch more properties.

*: Thank you guys. I'd like to take some popcorns and enjoy a JS Pong as a spectator too ( while still playing in this one of course ), so I dare to remind that Wrayal started the Javascript pong: Wrayal vs ? thread to start another JS Pong.

Holy cow,

Are you guys out of your minds??
Although I think it's quite useless in terms of website usability(no offense ), it's great to see you sharpen your skills and building crazy stuff.
I like to think I know some JavaScript, but I was already stunned when I saw the first volley .

O, and I love this volley-concept

There's no offense at all. The usability of that kind of scripts is near to zero in a real life web site. In 3.5years of "professionnal Javascript activity" I've had only one opportunity to really have fun.

Wow, great match guys.

I usually have no business being in the Javascript Forums, but I'm glad I decided to nose around today. Very interesting stuff.

Keep it up.

Hey, finally I find someone else who creates wonderful and weird stuff with no function or purpose other that relieving pent up creativity.

http://www.iinet.net.au/~htjs/balls.htm

There were others but when considering what was useful to keep pending a complete reformat (cos I messed with the OS too much) some 'sort of' interesting things went. They had the potential to become something but I never followed up on them.

The pong is great. Similar concept to balls but on a different tact and more reminissant of early amiga 500 "speacial" effects.

You guys are all insane. Crazy stuff, very well done and inspirational.
I wish I understood the theory behind math well enough to do spiffy 3D effects. One of those life goal kind of things.

(Edited by Scott on 05-22-2004 22:52)

Glad to see people enjoying the JS pong, and to see talented new people joining the Asylum.

Virbatem: Welcome. Your 3D balls are neat.
Scott: Regarding the work and method involved in your Arkanoid and the beta of another project, I have absolutely no doubt that you could gain the math knowledge required to do 3D effects.

BTW, if there was only one book to recommend about Computer Graphics, it would be Computer Graphics: Principles and Practice in C (2nd Edition) ( aka The Bible ) James D. Foley, Andries van Dam, Steven K. Feiner, John F. Hughes. This one have been my bedside book for years and it remains a goldmine. It covers and gives a good grasp on a lot of subjects one can be explore more in details if needed.

Nice balls Virbatem!

If you are an IE user you may be interested in http://www.dhteumeuleu.com/ for plenty of wonderful and weird stuff, or some of my own dhtml toys at http://www.mgifos.demon.co.uk

mgifos: Welcome on board.
Indeed, there's some interresting scripts on those sites. BTW it's funny to see my previous site being listed there. It's so ... 2000 I reminds me that I should really move my ass and code the back office of my new site.

Some of your stuffs sounds really inspired by the demo scene, have you been in a group or released some prods ?

Thanks mgifos,

You balls are awesome too. You've implemented the rotational control I was aiming for. had I enough time I would be integrated into my 'demos'. Work caught up with me again and my own web space remains a shambles.

I read the source for Bouncing Lenses a few times but am still confused as to the mechenism employed. I will endeavour to pull the code apart soon to satiate my own curiosity.

For now I have a problem. SPAN disbaled=false...


Not Enough Is Better Than Too Much

Virbatem: I've had a really quick sight at the source when I visited his website. From what I've seen, he simply uses some images and move their cliping region ( via the overflow:hidden of the parent DIV/SPAN ) to reveal some spans of them.

poi: I still have the RKRMs and hardware reference manual somewhere! Did lots of 'bits' of demos but never put a whole demo together or released anything. In more recent years I got interested in what some people were doing with DHTML and embedding MIME in Outlook Express, particularly on news://news.leibowitz.org/nzn.fr.html. My particular interest was in DirectAnimation and I still enjoy knocking out the odd bit of DA, but its something of a dodo. I've still plenty of old scripts to add to my site but its a slow process. The links grew out of a few recent searches for related material - I was very pleased to find your sites.

Virbatem: As poi pointed out the bouncing lenses script relies on clipping an <img> with a containing <span> and hiding the overflow. The circular effect is achieved by stacking up a set of rectangles of the appropraiate sizes. The final 'trick' is to make sure the clipped images don't need any resizing, or the whole thing slows to a crawl.

InI: I shall endeavor to return more often, but hijack fewer threads!

Looking forward to seeing Volley 7!

I concur with Nevel on this... This really is some wicked coding.

I consider myself to be very proficient with JavaScript, and yet you manage to implement these routines in a tenth of the code it would take me - if I could even do it (having the Hornet Demo Archive code library helps me on occasion though

I look forward to a 20-line "newbie" challenge that I might just be able to complete

Keep up the fun!

BillyRayPreachersSon: Welcome in the Asylum.
InI have had really little time lately to code, so did I, but I guess/hope he'll throw the next volley before the end of July. On the other hand, I'm all for a less "heavy math & physic" topic for the 20 liners, and tried to print a slight move with the May 20lines Javascript contest - Enhancing markup. Anyhow I'm pretty sure it's possible to do a less technical entry for the topics of the 20 lines monthly contests. Joke entries, games, ... are allowed as long as they matches the ~20lines rules and stay a bit on topic. See my stupid entry CoinCoin brave les élements in the June 20lines javascript contest - Elements.

Whatever, enjoy your stay.
