Create custom "fireworks" effects for webpage
background.
Global particle settings
Effect color and character ("Particle") will be used to display
all the particles. Total amount of particles determined by
Amount variable. Initial positions for each particle are random
and based on width and height of webpage.
Page area
Effect area is defined by X from/to and Y from/to variables.
These variables are measures in percentage of page width and
height and describes a rectangle in which the explosion will
be created and displayed. Initial position for particles is
randomly selected in range X from - X to. Vertical position
for the explosion is randomly selected in range Y from - Y
to.
Explosion process
Particles fly in unison from the bottom of the webpage to
selected vertical position, then for each particle randomly
defined explosion way (in range Way from - Way to which defined
in percent from page dimensions). Then each particle follow
its explosion way during defined amount of effect cycles (or
"frames") which is defined by "Explode" variable. After the
explosion particles fall down to page bottom. When all of
em reach bottom effect start over: new random values choosen
and new firework processed.
Speed variables
Vertical speed will determine speed of each particle on its
way to point of explosion and speed of falling after explosion.
Horizontal speed is related to falling motion into the bottom
page after explosion, as at this stage each particle will
be moved to left or right with a random movement which is
less than horizontal speed.
Effect delay
The delay variable will set the delay in the effect engine
(in milliseconds). You can lower it to produce smoother animation,
however try to keep it reasonable high to consume low CPU
power.
Limited Compatibility
Note that this effect has limited compatibility! The effect
works on the following browsers:
Internet Explorer 4
