If javascript causes that, perhaps we should consider banning its use while driving...

Google yielded this (http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2005/07/07/j2me3.html?page=6) and this (http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2005/07/07/j2me3.html?page=6). I don't know Java so I have no idea if any of this is useful.

[jasonchan]

ya thats what i found too... me no like java either

[Drorain]

java makes kittens die...do you want that jason...no you don't so don't do java

...

...

kidding aside it's been about 6 years since my introductary java class... all i know is i hated it, to many lines of code for such simple results

[Neballer]

Wait what are we talking about here?
Java (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_%28programming_language%29) or Javascript (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javascript), because they are two different things.

javascript ... i fear java too much to even confront it.

Ok ok ok - so cars crashing with javascript? Care to dive into that a little further.

[JPnyc]

You should never script while driving.

[jasonchan]

i guess what im asking is a javascript library animation
its similar to flash's actionscript no?

[Jackimalyn]

perhaps you could dictate? to prevent such a javascript disaster if you must drive while coding?

[JPnyc]

Well you can definitely create a javascript that will move images of 2 cars closer to each other, and appear to crash, but if you want the cars to look like the metal is collapsing and such, then use an animated gif for it.

[Neballer]

Or do it in flash.

[JPnyc]

Well even in flash you'll need images in various stages of the crash.

[Neballer]

true - but you won't be dealing with gifs.

[jasonchan]

yea i just want to imitate one using a library from javascript. not really interested in the appearance so i wouldnt use flash.

[jasonchan]

okay i will get started on this and let you guys know what i come up with

[Neballer]

please do.

[jasonchan]

not that many ppl are actually interested but it is finally here! here are two cars colliding with a furious fire at the very end. cheesy? yes, very indeed....
