Path Following Without A Path

Flash is evil. Flash is horrible. Flash basically states that HTML is good for nothing and you should pay for a propriety piece of junk that ruins everything that HTML stands for.

So in my quest for a decent photo gallery I wondered if I could create something where pictures followed a path.

Enter Gravity Prototype #1. Not the most catchy of titles I grant you, but it does show there's a series of these.

The principle here is to have a natural / organic motion along a know path, but by using the smallest amount of anchor points possible.

So, attempt #1. Four stars / gravity wells are placed on the screen. A set of pictures are then released in orbit around those gravity wells. The result? Well look and see.

Yeah, yeah. It's crazy. I know. Roll on prototype #2 I hear you chant.
