[DBarbarian Entry 1] - Fireworks

[dbarbarian]

I made two versions. One regular and one rainbow.
Let me know which one you like better, because I can't decide.

The rainbow code is the same as this one, but with different color settings.

EDIT: This code should be legal.

this.headA = new Array();

this.drawCircle = function(col,siz,x,y,d) {
	this.createEmptyMovieClip("c"+d,d)._x = x;
	this["c"+d]._y = y;
	this["c"+d].lineStyle(siz,col,100);
	this["c"+d].lineTo(1,0);
	return this["c"+d];
}

this.removeParticle = function(n,ind) {
	n.removeMovieClip();
	this.headA.splice(ind,1);
}

this.onEnterFrame = function() {
	for (i in this.headA) {
		this.headA[i][0]._x += (this.headA[i][5]!="head2") ? this.headA[i][3]:(this.headA[i][1]-this.headA[i][0]._x)/8;
		this.headA[i][0]._y += (this.headA[i][5]!="head2") ? this.headA[i][4]:(this.headA[i][2]-this.headA[i][0]._y)/8;
		this.headA[i][0]._xscale = this.headA[i][0]._yscale = (80+random(70)-35);
		this.headA[i][2] += (this.headA[i][5]=="head2") ? 2:0;
		col = new Color(this.headA[i][0]).setRGB("0xFFFF"+((random(2)==0) ? "FF":((random(2)==0) ? "CC":"99")));
		if (this.headA[i][5] == "head" and (this.headA[i][0]._x-this.headA[i][1])*(this.headA[i][0]._x-this.headA[i][1])+(this.headA[i][0]._y-this.headA[i][2])*(this.headA[i][0]._y-this.headA[i][2])<100) {
			for(j=0; j<16; j++) {
				this.headA.push([this.drawCircle("0xFFFFFF",5,this.headA[i][0]._x,this.headA[i][0]._y,this.d++),this.headA[i][0]._x+((j<8) ? (random(20)+100):(random(10)+55))*Math.cos(j*Math.PI/4+Math.random()*Math.PI/8),this.headA[i][0]._y+((j<8) ? (random(20)+100):(random(10)+55))*Math.sin(j*Math.PI/4+Math.random()*Math.PI/8),0,0,"head2"]);
			}
			this.removeParticle(this.headA[i][0],i);
		} else if (this.headA[i][5] == "head2" and this.headA[i][0].clicks++>20+random(15)) {
			this.removeParticle(this.headA[i][0],i);
		} else if (this.headA[i][5] == "trail" and this.headA[i][2]-this.headA[i][0]._y<2) {
			this.removeParticle(this.headA[i][0],i);
		}
		(this.headA[i][5]!="trail" and random(2)==0) ? this.headA.push([this.drawCircle("0xFFFFFF",2,this.headA[i][0]._x+random(8)-4,this.headA[i][0]._y+random(8)-4,this.d++),this.headA[i][0]._x,this.headA[i][0]._y+random(20)+5,0,1,"trail"]):0;
	}
}
this.onMouseDown = function() {
	this.tempx = random(400);
	this.headA.push([this.drawCircle("0xFFFFFF",5,this.tempx,415,this.d++),this._xmouse,this._ymouse,7*Math.cos(Math.atan2(this._ymouse-415,this._xmouse-this.tempx)),7*Math.sin(Math.atan2(this._ymouse-415,this._xmouse-this.tempx)),"head"]);
}

*NOTE: Do not click too many times. I recommend having 2 fireworks onscreen at one time.

****NOTE 2*******
Do NOT view the swf file below. For some strange reason, the particles are not removed. The html files are working correctly though.

[kdd]

cool, but if one clicks it too many times, it lags a lot.

[dbarbarian]

Thanks. I added a note on there.

[icio]

It's unfortunate that you don't have enough lines to remove the particles too, that would be the icing on the cake - it's a very nice effect

[dbarbarian]

Thanks.

I do remove the particles, but for some reason the swf files that I uploaded don't do it. Weird.
The swf work fine on my harddrive, or when I copy and paste the code. But once it's uploaded onto here, the particles aren't removed.

View the html files, those are working properly.

[virusescu]

lovely. I was planning on some fireworks too.

Remove the random colors and put some life to it like changing from yellow to red and then fade out. I like this anyway. When it's small it looks really good .

[icio]

Oh yeah, that is strange.

Nice effect

[DDD]

I had to try it call me a kid, but I clicked hella times.....almost brought my computer to its knees. Nice effect tho.

[hybrid101]

pretty nice effect! but it is pretty cpu intensive

[dbarbarian]

virusecu: I can't think of a one line way to make the particles fade colors and alpha. I'll see if I can compress the code some and I might be able to squeeze it in there. Thanks for the input

icio: Thank you. It's a weird problem. It happened to my third submission too, the snake game. Except there, instead of not remove objects, nothing shows up at all except the background. My coding must be soo bad that this site can't process it.

DDD: lol. Thanks.

hybrid101: Yea. That's what happens when you have a lot of particles looping around. I tried it with less particles, but it just doesn't look as good. I have a much better fireworks experiment that implemented tweens so the little particles didn't need to be pushed into arrays, so I could have a lot more particles on screen. But I would rather not post the link right now as this current one pales in comparison, and I would rather not make my entry look worse than it already is.

EDIT:
You know what...it actually looks pretty cool when it's small and the particles aren't removed. Kinda looks like your creating palm trees. Odd colored palm trees, but trees nonetheless.

[Sinister Shadow]

Nice, but the coloured one looks a bit too colourful to me. I'll probably like it more if the colours changed less but it's still funky!

[dbarbarian]

Thanks sinister.

Here is the original fireworks experiment in case anyone would like to see it. Use 1,2,3,4,5 to shoot different fireworks.

Very nice, but if you click to much it lags

[phorte]

wicked stuff..

[McGiver]

wow, this is cool.
