Description Update: Thanks for the suggestions. I decided to do an update and do some changes. Now the blocks bounce with more delay one between each other. Someone also told me to try to expand the blocks only horizontally, and so I did. It looks more "realistic" now, imho. The shadows, while it sounds like a good idea, since I prefer to use transparency, and the message boards I use this on have different backgrounds, they'd look a bit bad in the ones with dark BG.

Update 2: Argh, the edit option will refuse to work. If you want to check the edited version: [link]

Well, while experimenting with some stuff, I came up with this little animation. Not much to say about it, just that I did it for using it in several message boards.

Specs: pixelled in Paint Shop Pro, animated with Animation Shop. It has 30 animation frames and 10 colors were used.

Whee this is fun That's really cool, and quite hypnotic. It's so simple yet rather complicated all at the same time. Very fluid. Great work

They look a lot like the living pong paddles from the newer Pong games (there was one for the Playstation.) Those things would bend and bounce a bit before each level started, a bit like these things did. The colors are similar, too. Nifty though.

Me encanta como saltan... en la segunda versiΓ³n se puede ver un poquito mejor, como que parece todo mas real Y la verdad que me gusta asi sin sombras Y obviamente a vos te resulta mΓ‘s util Ojala algun dia aprenda algo de pixel O_o lo que he tratado de hacer me sale terriblemente feo

Lovely bouncing in the update! I wish you would draw them making a conscious effort to jump up sometime, but the animation is flawless already as it is.

Almost all of your submission are amazing. This reminds me of Moerder's stuff for some reason... Very smooth animation it is.

What about adding a small platform below them? And making the platform float with some cool background? just an idea ^^

p2kio [2003-03-07 16:23:18 +0000 UTC]

yeah its really nice to watch. sharks idea to add shadow to it is a good suggestion. i like the fact there is a little delay so that they are not all moving the same (you know what i mean, the yellow red one hits the ground before the blue and so on). if there are more versions to come you could add more delay to it. but this is just fine.
