All you have to do is to move your mouse around that black rectangle area and you will see what I mean. It’s just like those brushes you see in the video creation software. And on the same page, you can see the actual code to create that little applet. Isn’t it just amazing that just a few (hundred) lines of coding can create something so beautiful and interactive at the same time. Sure, it is of not much use to anyone, unless that someone is just too free but I guess it shows that some programmers just are amazing. And surprisingly, the coding doesn’t look that complicated. So, sure I am no Java programmer, heck, I am not even a real programmer who any real experience in programming, but it still looks easy to me. They really streamlined the code till people like me can understand at least a portion of the coding. Bravo!
Anyway, this is just a short post to show you this site. If you really don’t have anything else to do, you should take a look at it. In fact, you should spend some time playing with the screen. I mean, it is interesting for perhaps 5-10 minutes, but if you stay there for longer than that, then you have a serious problem. And I am not kidding. I am sure that they took hours and hours perfecting the coding, but it won’t get my attention for longer than 15 minutes. Maybe I have a short attention span, but how long can you draw imaginary lines on the screen with your mouse?
