Random Worms

**freeskier89** · June 22nd, 2005, 12:49 AM

This effect has 2 worms moving randomly about the scene, by adding a random angle from x to -x when using trigonometric movement. ex: x=speed*Math.cos(Math.PI/180*angle); Please feel free to critique!

hmmm...a little boring for me...stick with your other entry!

Ya I like my other entry better also. If only this one wasn't so cpu intensive, so I could add a few more worms and mathematical effects.

Looks really nice freeskier89! Please attach just your_effect.swf file without the border and such also

I really like it, but I think you should make them lighter and add more

Kirupa,
Alright will do, but the your_effect.swf does not simply work with the template. In the attachment process of the movieClips you must specify _root.effect.attachMovie(...) instead of just the normal _root.attachMovie(...) because I believe that in your template you are loading the movie to a container. I will make a seperate standalone file without the border and such! I will send an FLA if that would help with this discrepancy.

Hey, I like it. I'm interested in mimicing realistic motion and behavior. Do you think you could write a tutorial on how to make it? or share the source file?
Thanks

**freeskier89** · June 22nd, 2005, 11:50 AM

Ya sure spacemunkay. I'll write tutorial on it soon possibly in a few days and then make sure to let you know!

Thanks

Seems quite bland to me

**freeskier89** · June 23rd, 2005, 02:42 AM

Finally, spacemunkay and to others whom it may concern. Here is a word document for the tutorial, some time I will put it into html format. Tell me if something in the code does not work or you need a different format of the file. It should though!

Here, I have updated the worms and now there are a few more of them because I optimized them a bit! (see attachment above) They are a bit lighter also.
