Speed of animation

alt.ascii-art.animation · 2 messages · 17 Dec 1997 - 18 Dec 1997
Hi,

I have made 9 ascii animations... 3 being this year for teh first tiem
in 4 years...

Anyway, 2 of the anims i made were over 800k and when going to dos
through windows on my computers at work and using the type commadn they
run nicely, but if i use them on my computer here they go too bloody
fast.

Anyway, what i was wondering is is if there is a program to slow down
animations so they are viewable?

perhaps is there a new type command that offers a speed limit option?

Can somebody please let me know.

Oh, and if anybody wants any of my animations, I'll list them.
6 of the 9 are peverted, the last one i made being teh best peverted
one.

Peverted:

Safesex.vt - 93
ThatNite.vt -93
Orbit.vt - 93
Charles.vt - 93
FlyHigh.vt - 93
R&C.vt - 97

The normal ones:
BBPlanet.vt - 93
SmokeShp.vt - 97 (by far the best work i've done)
Poem.vt -97  .. this last one may not interest people.. It's
an          	animation from me to my girlfriend.

Anyway,
laters and thanks if you can help

I'm not sure if you are using the "page down" method of animation, but
if so, you have to fool around with the size of the window of the text
document in order for the animation to slow down. I found that method so
annoying that I am using javascript now exclusively (which is no doubt
annoying for other people). However, there is a template for the
javascript animation at:

Of course, if you don't have Netscape 3.0 or MSIE 4.0 that has
javascript enabled, it will be entirely useless to you and I apologize
in advance.
