Blobby is an example of a common demo effect: 2D metaballs. The foreground and background colors are chosen randomly from an internal list of combinations, and smoothly swapped at regular intervals. The movement of each metaball is controlled by three forces: a force compelling the metaballs to move towards their common center of mass, an occasional impulse in the opposite direction, and the reflecting force of the "walls." |
The foreground and background colors are specifiable as applet parameters (overriding those chosen from the list of default color combinations), as is the effective radius of the blobs. |
