  You can do it manually by controlling the angle and having a static rotation rate. Then just change the angle by the rotation rate every tick and when you want to slow it down, reduce the rotation rate every few seconds or so until it is 0. At that point you just need to fiddle with it until you initiate the slow down at the correct time.

  localhost is the domain for YOUR computer. Not a remote server. If you want to run a server on your computer, you need to install a web server software, like Apache Web Server, etc.

  Do you have the IP or URL for your server? For example, our domain URL is http://www.stormforgedproductions.com.

  You have to unzip it on the server into the base html directory. The webserver has to be able to read the index.html file or it will never work.

  Your files should look like this:

  /var/www/html/ (or whatever your base html directory is)

  .../index.html

  .../c2runtime.js

  .../data.json

  etc...

  When you generate an IP, add it to an array and compare each time you generate a new one in order to throw out copies.

  This will become very inefficient though if you are generating large numbers of these things.

  This article tries to explain the issue with motion sickness and also has a few tips to give. http://xbox.about.com/od/buyersguide/a/vgmosick.htm

  To add, I have also noticed that, now that games have better resolution and framerate, I have been able to play or watch 1st and 3rd person shooters for a longer time than previously.

  Good thing our game is slow and doesn't change angles. :-p I will keep this in mind when designing in the future though!

  Still I am always worried that the next great looking game to be released has not gone through enough testing to avoid motion sickness in games, perhaps because the issue (Quake syndrom) isn't very present among western gamers?

  Welcome to the forums.

  I've never heard of Quake syndrome in my life thus far, so my experience supports this hypothesis.

  Physical accuracy isn't really important in this case since you're going for a look, and a bunch of springs will be enough to do that here.

  Wikipedia has a good overview of the methods.

  I am just OCD most times, lol.

  Parallax controls the scale rates for layers. You have a lower number for a slower rate of movement. So the farther "away" a background layer is the lower the parallax value needs to be.

  It's basically done with a bunch of springs. Hook's law is the equation to use to calculate spring force. Then it's just a matter of tuning the constants. So the math isn't that bad at all.

  Yea, you can generally simplify it, if you are willing to sacrifice precision.

  Ah, you should look at using a SpriteFont. That is more performance friendly.

  I have a Java program that parses all of our spreadsheets from csv files into a nice Json file.

  But "parsing" is the short answer.

  We use autoscaling for everything:

  What you are asking for requires ridiculously insane mathematics.

  This is the closest I could find on a quick research: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3157 ... l-three-js

  There are not many plastic physics engines out there. You can mimic it using elastic physics and stickiness though.

  You have to use the File Chooser feature and ask the user to save it. Anything else is a security violation.

  maybe every tick create a track sprite at object.x and object.y?
