Make onGameStart have an animated gradient #19

Open achalddave opened 12 years ago

achalddave commented 12 years ago

Raphael doesn't support gradient animations. I have a rotating gradient animator implemented elsewhere, but it's not working properly here. Right now onGameStart simply flashes the circle gradient a bit. This is pretty ugly and bad, but this is something to fix once we have the rest of the game down.

This is lower priority imo

achalddave commented 12 years ago

It's lower priority in that "this doesn't fundamentally change how the game works" but it's a bit higher priority in that "this is pretty terrible, an animation makes more sense"--i.e. it should be implemented when touching up the final styling of the rest of the site.

lol okay sounds good

sharadmv commented 12 years ago

lol the animation right now is so bad. it makes it impossible to read the first few words...i guess this should be bumped up on the priority list

achalddave commented 12 years ago

I'm going to change the colors of the flash for now, but I'll implement the smooth animation in a bit. Also, I'll just have the circle animate, then call gameHandler.start() after the animation is done? That may make things better.
