Starfield in JavaScript...

[Rattrapmax6]

Xteraco got to showing me some JavaScript demo's the other night, and being a JS coder myself, sparked some creative juices.. Well, I wipped up this lil effect just a few minutes ago just as a lil break from the other stuff I've been up to.... Pretty cool.. =)

var LENS = 256

function MOVEPIX(X, Y, ID){
document.getElementById(ID).style.top = Y
document.getElementById(ID).style.left = X

function UpdateField() {
for (var i = 1; i <= 100; i++){

if (StarX[i] < -400) {StarX[i] = 400}
dist=LENS-StarZ[i]
if (dist != 0) {
NX = CENTX + (LENS*StarX[i]/dist)
NY = CENTY - (LENS*StarY[i]/dist)
MOVEPIX(NX, NY, i)

Enjoy!

Indeed it works! Screenshot attached. Thanks for sharing !

Hehe, welcome!

I'd done that before, but updating colour last time was being a dog, I finally fond the right syntax, so.. there you have it..  .. Zooming star field! haha, and the scroll bars go insian!

Heheh, no point in posting another screen shot as it would look about the same but that's damn good Rattra Kudos.

Nice, though a bit too big for my taste :p

You probably saw the 256b starfield I posted on Pouet. Here is a badly optimized version of it, in 209 bytes.

<body id=B text=tan bgColor=0><script>setInterval("m='';c=Math.cos;for(u=65;u;)m+='<p style=position:absolute;top:'+(50+(z=399/(9+(--U+u--&63)))*c(u*9))+'%;left:'+(50+z*c(u))+'%>Ã,·';B.innerHTML=m",U=9)</script>

Hope you like them.

Cool one.

[benny!]

Cool one. Very well done 

[Clyde]

aboard P01, nice starfield.

Hey p01 I hadn't seen that one before, looks nice, good sense of depth which most broser starfields lack.. Thumb duely added and
