Fall Banner bplus WIP

Quote:Hey is the QBJS Server is giving me an error when I try to test the Shared Code link from this forum. I retried 3 times. The code works fine in QBJS but the shared code link 413's an Error???

Sounds like the query string portion of the URL has exceeded the max length. When you paste in the share URL replace the ? with a #.

OK it is up to 568 lines now.

Update: yep!

I don't know maybe it needs a flying saucer?

Today I want to make less leaves and fluffier, be more subject to wind whims which also needs a fix.

Turkeys! Smile They will be hiding over on the right side ;-))

Oh I have a turkey image, running for it's life. That actually would work better with my scrolling landscape.

OK the leaves are more satisfactory in my eyes and experience.

' 2023-08-30 start of QBJS Banner
' 2023-08-31 Logo and Hills added

' 2023-09-01 Fellippe I see contributed allot to orig code with moving leaves
' Also thanks to grymmjack for getting me starting of PFont and font patterns.
' Also thanks to dbox for catching all my errors with QBJS.

' 2023-09-03 try to fix font print to print while leaves are falling
' tweak numbers for falling leaves for more and not too leaden.

' 2023-09-03 FontFlag to signal FPrint is done

' 2023-09-04 do not stop leaves falling when on a tree trunk
' Ran into problems with QBJS handling Point see commented code in MoveLeaf
' So this keeps moving leaves without Point
' Clean up code a bit fix letters shadows, toss junk subs
' Aha! found a way to get leaves off tree trunks = redraw trunks!
' New Type Tree

' 2023-09-05 fix wind so it is continuous between 0 and .5?

' 2023-09-01 Fellippe I see contributed allot to orig code with moving leaves
' Also thanks to grymmjack for getting me starting of PFont and font patterns.
' Also thanks to dbox for catching all my errors with QBJS.

' 2023-09-03 try to fix font print to print while leaves are falling
' tweak numbers for falling leaves for more and not too leaden.

' 2023-09-03 FontFlag to signal FPrint is done

' 2023-09-04 do not stop leaves falling when on a tree trunk
' Ran into problems with QBJS handling Point see commented code in MoveLeaf
' So this keeps moving leaves without Point
' Clean up code a bit fix letters shadows, toss junk subs
' Aha! found a way to get leaves off tree trunks = redraw trunks!
' New Type Tree

' 2023-09-05 fix wind so it is continuous between 0 and .5?

If I were even half as clever as you, and designing it for myself, I would get rid of the right-hand-side Phoenix logo and put the pumpkin in its place. But if the turkey has to be included as well...

Otherwise I admit I'm being bothered by the message at the top not being centered. The pumpkin instead of one of the logos would make at least one person want to use the horizontal scrollbar, if you can't get rid of it.

Anyways these are only suggestions. I wrote this for a few chuckles. It works well at my end, draws the entire message, and waits until almost all the leaves are off the trees.

If it were really up to me only, I'd place a prophet on the right-hand side. Then a whirlwind could appear from the left-hand side and lure him away. At least as a limited-time option, could be removed in October. There, I've more or less given away where I'm from.

Thumbs Up 
+1 Thankyou for your feedback @mnrvovrfc specially the Linux things. Turns out the FontFlag worked out better in fact several workarounds have worked out better!

I was thinking the pumpkin where it is will balance the left Logo and "center" the Title for those of us with less than 1400 pixel screens. Hard to design anything when you don't know where the right side is going to end up because you don't know where the middle is either. I am prepared to have the right side cut off if your screen doesn't make 1400. The title should just fit on smallest width screen.
