Web browser technology has made things soooo easy that I can now quickly throw together a demo of one of the features of the games without looking too much like an idiot. The demo is here: JavaScript PNG Sprite Animations.

This made it into some early JavaScript-based games for the company I currently work for. Let’s hope browsers mature enough for us to do some really kickass stuff in the near future.

As expected, I’m behind where I want to be with my Stupid Web Tricks section. Anyway, the Domo-kun were starting to look really lonely, so I decided to throw together a quick carousel implementation for the heck of it.

I just whipped up this simple orbiting domo-kun animation in JavaScript.

After playing around with JavaScript’s Math trig methods (particularly Math.sin and Math.cos), one thing led to another, and after watching a few domo-kun videos on YouTube, I was inspired to use its picture in the effect.
