- 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.
- I have to thank Jeff Cragg and Alex Vulliamy for this idea.
- Remember that are needed both flozoids.class and Lware.class.
- You must upload these 2 .class files and insert the <applet> tag on your
- html document to add this applet to your page.
- This applet is fully parametrized, so you can change many things to
- adapt the effect to your pages and purposes.
- Here an example of what you have to write in the html (the things anfter
- the ; are comments with min-max values acceptet):

-
- Here detailed instructions about how to change parameters:
-
- The credits parameter can't be changed otherwise the applet will not work.
-
- To activate the reg parameters read the shareware registration notes.
- In the "regcode" parameter you have to place the registration code you
- purchase from the author. If it is correct and the applet is run from the
- registered domain name, you can use "reglink" parameter, where you can specify
- an URL where bring user when the applet is clicked.
- If you set to "YES" regnewframe, you can specify a frame where load 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.
-
- Otherwise the frame name, for example "myframe1".
-
- The size of the applet is determined by width and height tags.
-
- The number of flozoids is determined by "numfloz" parameter: more flozoids
- mean slower execution.
-
- The behaviour of flozoids can be altered with these parameters:
-
- "flozdistance" : it determine how much a flozoid can go far from others
- "tocenter" : it determine the tendence to go to center of screen
- "acceleration" : it determine the acceleration power of flozoids
- "speed" : it determine the max speed a flozoid can reach
- "sidebouncing" : it determine the intensity of bouncing when edges of the
- applets are reached.
- "fheads" : it determine if flozoids have heads or not.
- "overtext" : it determine if flozoids can overwrite textscroll.
-
- You can change the colours for best results over your web page, the RGB
- values are 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 it's name in the
- place of "NO" at backimage parameter (for example "back.jpg").
- The only requirement is that the background image must be same size as the
- applet to completely cover it.
-
- About flozoids color, 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 last color of 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 coloured from black to white (all the intermediate grays),
- place a value of 255 for flozR1,flozG1,flozB1 and a value of 0 for second
- color: flozR2,flozG2,flozB2.
- Offcourse you can make rainbows (from red to blue, etc.).
