Spiffy dynamic background #1

Closed Cervator closed 6 years ago

Cervator commented 9 years ago

Terasology's splash site cycles through a simple set of nice screenshots. For Destination Sol, being that the game background is very simple and subtle (dark outer space) I figure using a background from the game would be suitable. Turning it up a notch we could have little game objects floating around occasionally.

I don't HTML/CSS anywhere near the level of doing that, but have started noticing sites like https://codecov.io/ that use some sort of dark magic to render small objects doing stuff in the background. Could be cool to have asteroids floating around slowly that way, and maybe a ship flying by occasionally.

Difficulty: Needs to be doable on a GitHub page, which is fairly limited in the tech and languages it allows.

This should be doable using basic CSS/javascript, so definitely something we can look into.

(HTML5 transforms come to mind as an easy way of doing some of these things, although tbf i've never used them for this purpose before)
