For those of you who saw my Apollo presentation at FiTC, you’ll probably remember the little sheep that runs around the screen – it seemed to be the one thing people talked about afterwards. 🙂
Well, Ralph Hauwert sent me a link to some better sheep graphics – from the Worms game – and I dug up a sound file for it, and upgraded it a bit. One thing I discovered is that if you import an animated gif into Flash CS3, it imports the whole animation as a series of keyframes. Now, that may have been a feature introduced in Flash 3 for all I know, but it is new to me!
Anyway, if you want the source for the whole project, it’s here: https://www.bit-101.com/fitc/2007/DesktopToy.zip
Or, if you just want the Apollo installer, that’s here: https://www.bit-101.com/fitc/2007/DesktopToy.air
It should go without saying that you’ll need Apollo installed to run the program, and the Apollo extensions for Eclipse in order to build the project.
