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.

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.

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.

We have done so.

Don't follow his example - seek real life help first.

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.
