------------------------------------------------------------- QGoo Java Applet v1.1 by QuanCex ------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Introduction --------------- One afternoon I was thinking of a way to make a site more interactive, so I came up with the idea of a Goo-ing applet. A few coding hours later a first crude version was finished and after lots of tweaking and improving, I released the first public one! This is the second version of QGoo, with much better Goo-ing quality and some added tools. I hope you and your visitors like it! If you have any suggestions feel free to mail me. (email at the end) 2. License ---------- I'm including this for necessity. Here goes: Anyone can use QGoo on their site for non-commercial purposes. If you want to use it for commercial ends please contact me (contact information at end). I do believe in Open-Source as a way of learning but the reason I do not provide the QGoo source is that it's too messy. It's really my first 'decent' Java-Applet and it's probably inefficient, slow and full of tiny bugs and leaks. And I'm known to write un-intelligable code. (whats wrong with calling your vars a,b,c,d,e, ... ? :) There is one other thing that I would like to ask and that is that you keep the bottom about-line visible. ("QGoo v1.1 - written by QuanCex ...") 3. Usage -------- Paste the following code into your HTML-file. The parameters are pretty self-explaining (Image and Background color). As for the Goo-controls themselves they are pretty self-explaining too: - Goo: The main tool! Stretch and turn that face into rubber. - UnGoo: Turn parts of the image back to normal. - Soften: Can be used to smoothen rough parts. - Lighten/Darken: 'Draw' on the image. Use it to add dirt, moustaches, and more. 4. Version History ------------------ v1.1 (26 March 2000) - Changed the math from Integer to Floating-Point. The Goo is much more detailed and less grainy. - Added a high-quality filtering after each action. - Added Lighten/Darken tool v1.0 (17 March 2000): - Started QGoo! - Features: Goo, UnGoo and Soften, Background Color. 5. About the author ------------------- Well if you really want to know... I'm Steven Wittens, age 16. I live in Belgium and I'm in the 11th grade, doing Latin-Math. In my spare time I do some programming, mostly C++ in Win32 SDK (Windows) but recently I've started to do some Java coding too. I also love creating graphics, mostly using 3D Studio MAX (www.ktx.com) or Paint Shop Pro (www.jasc.com). And finally I'm also into IRC Coding/Scripting but I think I'm sorta getting out of it. For GREAT IRC tools/scripts you should check out www.projectx.mx.dk. I don't have a homepage, but I've been telling myself to start one so I can place all the crap that I make on it...
