This small VBscript (HTA) app is sort of like a screen saver you can tweak and play with. It's an old idea dating way back to the C64 era, sprites moving around in sine wave. I first made this with GIFs,then eventually DIVs with a wingding character in it. This lets me colour each sprite and set the size with style.FontSize (which is too slow to do in the mainloop unfortunately), but now I don't need graphics so it's standalone. Some of the text boxes use EVAL() which adds even more scope, but at the price of a big CPU hit. It runs OK on my dinosaur PC though (Pentium 3 450MHz) Save it as HTA and run it (or HTML,it isn't bothered) (This is a repost because I uploaded it to VB by mistake) Have fun! Alan.
