Looks just like my old Amiga intro scroller, doesn't it? Can you feel the Nostalgia
stirring inside you? (Just wait 'till I finish my soundtrack for this scroller...)
This is version 2.0 of the scroller. The first one seemed to blink on some computers.
And the speed could not be too high, because it was not fast enough.
Watch out for our Java demo coming your way pretty soon. It will have shadebobs,
a lightsourced lens, glenzies, 3D bobs, a great soundtrack and more.
Now we've restarted the demo coding, we developed a lot utilities for Java. We created
a new applet, especially for animations. The Sun developers probably never coded
anything graphically, because the graphical tools they made in Java are very sluggish.
We've made quite a few routines in Java ourselves, and they are much better than
the standard Java tools. A result of this is this new scroller, which seems to
work much better now, than the first version, which used Sun's routines.
It did however require me to rewrite the complete applet, but a scroller isn't
that hard, so it didn't take me all that long.
