- Anfy Flozoids - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1997-99
-
-
- This applet can animate in realtime a popular artificial life algorithm,
- where some "flozoids" are flying around.
-
- This applet is fully parametrized, so you can change many things to adapt
- the effect to your pages and purposes.
-
- I have to thank Jeff Cragg and Alex Vulliamy for this idea.
-
- *************************************************************************
-
- NECESSARY FILES.
-
- Apart from the background and/or foreground image, the following 2 ".class"
- files must be uploaded:
-
- flozoids.class
- Lware.class
-
- Plus, flozoids.jar for speedy loading on recent browsers.
-
- *************************************************************************
-
- EXAMPLE.

- INSTRUCTIONS.
-
-
- The following instructions describe how to change parameters:
-
- Attempting to change the credit parameter will disable the applet.
-
- To activate the reg parameters read the shareware registration notes.
- In the "regcode" parameter, place the registration code you purchased
- from the author. If the code is correct and the applet is run from the
- registered domain name, you can use "link" parameters to link to a URL
- when the applet is mouse-clicked.
-
- If you set "regnewframe" to "YES", you can specify a specific frame location
- for the reglink:
-
- "_blank" : To load the link in a new blank unnamed browser window.
- "_self" : To load the link into the same window the applet occupies.
- "_parent" : To load the link into the immediate FRAMESET parent.
- "_top" : To load the link into the top body of the window.
-
- You can also set a custom frame name, such as "myframe1".
-
- With the "overimg" parameter you can specify the name of an image that will
- be painted over the applet. The best options are transparent GIF images.
- NOTE: Animated GIF images are supported, but will be animated only on latest
- browsers (Netscape 4 and Explorer 4 or newer).
-
- With "overimgX" and "overimgY" you can center the image over the applet area.
-
- The size of the applet is determined by width and height tags.
-
- The number of flozoids is determined by the "numfloz" parameter: more
- flozoids mean slower execution.
-
- The behaviour of flozoids can be altered with these parameters:
-
- "flozdistance" : determines how far a flozoid can go from other flozoids
- "tocenter" : determines the tendency to go to the center of the applet area
- "acceleration" : determines the acceleration of flozoids' motion
- "speed" : determines the max speed a flozoid can reach
- "sidebouncing" : determines the intensity of bouncing when edges of the
- applet are reached.
- "fheads" : determines if flozoids have heads or not.
- "overtext" : determines if flozoids can overwrite a scrolling text.
-
- If you set the "interactive" parameter to "YES", flozoids will follow
- the mouse pointer, when it enters in the applet area.
-
- You can change the colour of flozoids for best results on your web page.
- The RGB values are the same as those in HTML tags, but in pure decimal values
- without the "#" symbol.
-
- Use backR,backG,backB to change background colour.
-
- If you want to display an image in the background, place its name in the
- place of "NO" at backimage parameter (for example "back.jpg").
-
- The only requirement is that the background image must be the same size as
- the applet to completely cover it.
-
- You can choose the first and last colour of a gradient effect that is spread
- over all the flozoids: flozR1,flozG1,flozB1 for first colour, flozR2,flozG2,
- flozB2 for the last colour of the gradient. Examples: to make ALL the flozoids
- white, place 255 as value for all the flozR1,flozG1,flozB1 and flozR2,flozG2,
- flozB2.
-
- Eg.
-
- To make flozoids colour go from black to white (all the intermediate grays),
- place a value of 255 for flozR1,flozG1,flozB1 and a value of 0 for the second
- color: flozR2,flozG2,flozB2.
- You can also make various rainbows (from red to blue, etc.).
