I wrote this code, apparently, quite a while ago. Looking at this code seven years later, to my surprise, I found that everything still works and they are all still fun to watch. The goal of this project was to become comfortable with jQuery and more specifically jQuery animate. Essentially these are just tech demos that taught me a little bit while writing them.
Enjoy!
There are four projects contained within:
- Ice Crystals (ice_crystals.html)
- Letters (letters.html)
- Lightning (lightning.html)
- Mouse Interaction (mouse_interaction.html)
- Stars (stars.html)
Each .html file has a corresponding .js file in the js folder in the root of this repository.
All visualizations can be run simply by opening the corresponding .html file in the root of this repository. Some require interaction, some do not.
The only one that needs much explanation is Letters. To interact with this visualization simply type any letter key after it the Loading... message disappears.
The only real requirement is that you be connected to the internet while running these simulations. jQuery is sourced via googleapis URLs. At some point I should just included the version of jQuery required for this repository locally so it will work as long as the browsers support it.
