plz make it 10 frames and framerate 0.1 second..

Remember kids, you can join even if you have no animation proggy...


that's right, www.iaza.com, has a new online utility. Up to 15 frames ; )

I think this is a great idea, I'll try something out tonight!

Something quickly before i go to college, to get things started for you guys. Don't be afraid to change other people's tiles i say, especially if it helps piece the whole thing together. Could become a big mess if we don't.

I fixed larwicks animation (it contained a half ball) and added mine :)

Because people weren't as interested as you'd hoped they'd be. Seriously have a look at the topic - you've done 2/3 of the pieces...are you just going to keep reviving it all the time and adding pieces...if so why not cut out the other 2 pieces; call it your own work and submit it to the gallery.

and since you appear to be fond of sayings:
"Let sleeping dogs lie."

Frankly, I think this would be COOL!!!! But I can't do animation. :( And the tiles are uneven.
What I think you should do is restart the thread, but make it like a checkerboard. Everybody fills in a tile, without animation, but maybe with a red dotted line to show which path the ball takes. In the end, someone could animate it, and it would be AWESOME!!!!

I think it would be a better idea for those who can't do animation to post an image, like you say, with red dotted lines, so someone who can animate can animate it. Rather than making the whole thing static at the start, because we won't understand the speed of the ball and it would be hard to calculate.

I don't understand what you mean by the tiles being uneven.

MisterQwerty, i'm going to lock your thread because i don't see any need for a new one. Post your tiles here and i'm sure someone will be happy to animate them, but make sure they link to the current tiles and the image is not a JPG.

Later on i would be happy to add a faint checker pattern behind the current tiles incase it's hard to determine where one begins and ends.

Also i know before i said it's ok to edit other people's tiles, i don't think that's a good idea anymore, seems silly that i suggested it. We can simply ask someone to fix something if it's required.

Yeah ok. Well so far it's all been ok, everyone has posted 50x50 tiles (which is easy to do because it's a simple number). But as i said we can always add a grid. :)

Your image is still a jpg and is ruined by jpg artifacts! Hopefully you have a backup copy!

Updated version, with all the old ones.

Okay I have a question here. What happens when this becomes a huge 1000x1000 piece, imagine how slow its going to be to load on 10 frames of that every second on some peoples computers. There needs to be another way of doing this.

How about we just submit our single 50x50 animations, tell you where we want them, and then you paste individual images next to each other on the first post on this topic. It will load quicker and take up less memory on peoples computers.

Unless someone has another idea to make this smoother, because I don't feel like uploading a whole entire 1000x1000 10 frame animation or working on one that big once it starts to grow, I don't think anyone else does either.

Aside from that, this is a very very good idea. I think it could be really cool, especially if people started thinking outside the box and using more colors.

It's a shame that there isn't really anything that sets this apart from the original. We're pixel artists, right? Why not make it good looking as well?

Hey maybe someone can make an enima shooting up the guys rear or something, that way he isn't throwing up infinitely with nothing entering his body to supply the endless puke.
