SnowStorm Version 1.2a
SnowStorm has been updated. From the documentation:
- Opera 7 ("O7") support added.. I think.
- Improved initialization speed (less snowflake objects on startup)
- Netscape 6.x "sticky" snow behavior fixed (now works)
- IE:mac bug event handler bug fixed (script should now work)
- Snow collection feature added
- Snowflake speed is relative to size (Cheap pseudo-3D effect)
It still eats up more CPU than necessary, but in the days of ~3 GHz Pentium 4 CPUs I don't consider this to be much of an issue; animation has never been one of DHTML's stronger points (I develop and test on a 433 Mhz Celeron, so I notice speed/efficiency issues pretty quickly.) Still, it shouldn't be much of a load on newer hardware.
Suggestions/comments/criticism etc. can be e-mailed.
Happy Holidays!
