BBV4Life Blue Ball Machine

[Hawklet]

*This Idea Stolen From Something Awful Forum*

For those of you unaware of the blue ball machine, it is a series of animations that manipulate and move blue balls in multiple way. One Example: http://www.blueballfixed.ytmnd.com/

This is made by creating multiple 100x100 pixel 30 frame (8ms / frame) GIFs that are able to be put together. This is allowed by following this pattern:


This is an example tile that Andorion made on Something Awful.

The BASE image is an animated .gif with exactly 30 frames and 8ms per frame, your images should be the same. Make sure you build off this base image, so your contribution will be compatible with everyone else's!

There are three cross-over points for the blue balls - one right to left, one left to right, and one bottom to top. There is no top to bottom cross-over. This means there are three balls on the screen when the animation starts, and by the end of the animation there should be three balls leaving the screen. What happens in the middle, or which ball goes where, is up to you! Preferably, make it so you can follow each ball fairly clearly!

I used Jasc Animation Shop 3, since it's easy to edit frame by frame in Paint Shop Pro through it... you can use whatever program you want or know, but let me repeat - MAKE SURE YOU USE THE BASE IMAGE and have exactly 30 frames, 8ms per frame, and the SAME CROSSOVER POINTS.

The idea is that each person creates a tile however they like following the pattern and when put together they make this great machine.

What it do BBV4Life? Could the great minds of 2+2 create their own Blue Ball Machine?

I guarantee if you spend enough time messing with this, you'll never get the chance to have blue balls again.
