Various "out of space" effects from stars to radar or hyperspace, based on movement and rotation of circles.

Displaying effect

Circles will be formed and displayed around defined X and Y center of the page. Each frame circles will be zoomed out, and zoom speed will increase gradually from the 'Speed from' to the 'Speed to' value. When circle radius exceeds the distance from the center to the page border, the movement starts over with zero radius.

Speed settings

The difference between Speed values will create the velocity for zooming and give a 3D feeling for the whole movement. Additional rotation can be added to zooming by defining Angle speed. Each frame circle will be rotated by defined Angle, like in a vortex.

Displaying points

Each circle formed by defined amount of points. They may be distributed along specified part of circle perimeter by defining Angle from - to values (in degrees). So 0 - 360 values will create a normal circle, 0 - 180 half a circle etc. If both values equal to zero points will be placed along perimeter in random order.

Effect delay

The delay variable will set the delay in the effect engine (in milliseconds). You can lower it to produce smoother animation, however try to keep it reasonable high to consume low CPU power.

Limited Compatibility

Note that this effect has limited compatibility! The effect works on the following browsers:

Internet Explorer 4
Internet Explorer 5
Internet Explorer 5.5 (or later)
Netscape 4.5
Netscape 6 (or later)
