jQuery for Web Page Sprites: Spritely
March 11, 2010 · Posted in Web Stuff
Years back I tried to code my own JavaScript to get snowflakes to descend gracefully down the screen. Besides crashing the browser repeatedly I had limited, frustrating success at successfully creating and replicating independent sprites to move on the screen.
Well Artlogic have managed to create a jQuery plugin that is at version 0.1 but looks beautifully elegant, just go to spritely.net.
My expectation was that the birds in the header would stay in the header, being so used to Flash where the sprite is bounded by the box it is in. So I was surprised when I clicked further down the page and the bird came to the mouse, Fun stuff!

This is neat, I like how the the birds change direction when you scroll the speed slider to the left, intead of to the right. Thanks
