Title: SCROLLCOMP: Bouncing CircleScroll
Post by: benny! on February 07, 2007
Here is my entry to the scrollcompetition called :

Bouncing CircleScroll (click on the link to view it online)
http://www.weltenkonstrukteur.de/works/varworks/circleScroll.htm (http://www.weltenkonstrukteur.de/works/varworks/circleScroll.htm)

First time I code a java applet - hope it runs fine on most of your
computers. You should have of course a java runtime installed
(I recommend jre1.5 or higher...). Successfully tested in Firefox2.0
and IExplore7.0.

Nice one  :clap: I always liked this type of scroller - not really a scroller - call it a rotator  :||

Thanks, mates !

@Clyde:

You are right ... there was a circlescroller in the rsi megademo. In comparision
to mine - even the letters were rotated. Very nice indeed ( see screenie )

You could precalculate the rotation if you wanted to convert it exactly, it looks good as it is though :)

Thanks guys !!!

Just wanted to mention that the source code is now available in the
"Java, Flash + Browser.. " board. It's not very well commented and
rather messy - if you have any question feel free to post them in the
corresponding thread.

Thanks Jim. Thats why I love this community. You are open for different languages.
No flaming around which basic is the best - or that C/C++ is the only choice -
like you see it in various other forum unfortunately.
