- Anfy Flozoids - Copyright (C) by Fabio Ciucci 1997/98
-
-
- This applet can animate in realtime an artificial life algorithm, where
- some "flozoids" are flying (or swimming) 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.
-
- The following 2 ".class" files must be uploaded: flozoids.class and
- Lware.class.
-
- Insert the <applet> tag in your html document as follows to add this applet
- to your page (Comments after the ";" symbol are code explanations and
- acceptable min/max values. They are not part of the applet language):

- ---------
-
-
- The following instructions detail how to change parameters:
-
- Attempting to change the credits 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 "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 displayed as 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 center of screen
- "acceleration" : determines the acceleration power of flozoids
- "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 textscroll.
-
- If you set the "interactive" parameter to "YES", flozoids will follow
- the mouse pointer, when it enter in the applet area.
-
- You can change the colors for best results on your web page. The RGB
- values are the same as HTML tags, but in decimal values.
-
- Use backR,backG,backB to change background color.
-
- 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 color of a gradient that will be spread
- over all the flozoids: flozR1,flozG1,flozB1 for first color, flozR2,flozG2,
- flozB2 for the last color of the gradient. Examples: to make ALL the flozoids
- white, place 255 as value for all the flozR1,flozG1,flozB1 and flozR2,flozG2,
- flozB2.
-
- To make flozoids color 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 rainbows (from red to blue, etc.).
