new to the board! (Read 1135 times)

brocksamsung YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 12	new to the board! Mar 31^st, 2008, 6:31am Hi all, I am new to this internet space place. Also new to the world of Processing. I only know a bit about Java and what it is capable of. I come here with a specific question. Would it be possible to take the Bird app that comes with beta 0135 and implement it into a web page? If so, how hard would this be to set up? Glove, Brock

Now this is where things might get a bit more complicated. How might I be able to go about flying this bird across a page of text and usual website stuff? Or at least to begin with, make the background of this bird app transparent..?

I feel like I have come across adverts online that work this way.. I will try to find one and post it.

know of any good tutorials on controlling animated bits like this? id like to write something up where like, say we have the same little bird.. but rather than it flying around in the same spot, have it appear from the bottom right side of the screen and in closer. then to the upper left and further away. maybe have a couple of them do that.

Ah yeah.. You are probably most definitely right. I suppose I could always turn the graphic into a gif. Then have it lay across the page every once in a great moon.

It's a shame I do not know enough about flash to set something like this up.

Is there a way to export this bird app to gif? I have seen other processing stuff done this way before.

Excellent. This gifAnimation situation will work out great. I'll make a gif out of this app and have it show up over the page every once in a while the way Id like it too.

I could also go with movox's suggestion too. Which is a great one. But I think id have a harder time digging into it. I hate being so lost when it comes to programming. I feel handy caped. This girl I used to dated used to help me with all this PHP stuff. It was crappity smacking excellent until she dumped my ass.

Lame dot com. I like the sound of going the movox way more tho. ;( hmmm.

brocksamsung YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 12	Re: new to the board! Reply #13 - Apr 5^th, 2008, 5:30pm That's not a bad idea. This gif animation kind of hard to figure out. Anyone have any tips on how to get it working proper?
