Pixel Joint Forum: Exploring in the middle of nowhere

Message

   To make the study of great pixel artists easier without the use of an animation program, I made a small JavaScript WIP viewer for Fool's "In the middle of nowhere":

http://folk.uio.no/vegardno/pixels/isowip/

Controls:

left click: next frame,
right click: previous frame,

ctrl+left click: zoom in,
ctrl+right click: zoom out,

click and hold to drag the viewport around.

I was thinking of displaying some commentaries next to each frame as well, to highlight small details, examples of technique, etc. But I didn't get that far yet. If anybody wants to help out, send me their texts along with the frame number that they go with.

	This is really cool! I don't like the clicking though; in Firefox at least it opens up the right click menu. Perhaps something like left and right arrows would be better. Also might be an idea to have it loop when you go forwards from the final frame/back from the first (to get to either end faster).

	I added buttons now and made it wrap around when you try to go beyond either end. Does this seem to help? I can also try to add some triggers for the keyboard but it would have to wait.

	Ok, I disabled the menu now. If it still doesn't work for you, try opening about:config and changing the setting dom.event.contextmenu.enabled to the value "true". (This is a global switch that Mozilla uses to disallow websites from disabling the right click menu. I think it does allow them by default, though.) Thanks for the feedback!
