Heroes

My wife thought this flash application was cool, so I spent the afternoon trying to recreate it in F3.

The F3 version isn't complete and differs in some details but seems like a reasonable approximation.

This example is typical of many Flash programs where the hard work is done by the graphic artists and the progammer's job is relatively easy: in this case I just laid out the images, implemented the animations based on location, rotation, scale, and opacity, and handled the mouse events.

Here's a link to a copy of the source code.

The really neat thing about Chris's Java port is that it's actually smoother than the original flash!

Did you notice you can active the TV through the pop-ups like the photograph on the wall? :-)

Hi Chris: Can you tell me what these line means: for (unitinterval r in dur 500 fps 100) { //bookX = (r * 140) bookY = 420 + (r * -200); bookOpacity = r; bookScale = (0.8 * r); bookRotation = -10 + (10 * r); } specially "unitinterval r in dur 500 fps 100" thanks

Rene Davila: That is experimental syntax (we can discuss it in detail once F3 is open- source). The documented syntax of the dur operator derives the frame rate from the length of the array / the duration. The unitinterval operator allows you to define the frame rate explicitly. The current syntax is provisional and is there just to explore the problem. unitinterval is a keyword which returns the elapsed time as a fraction between 0 and 1. fps is also a keyword and stands for "frames per second".
