This is the second post in my series of Silverlight animations, all based on the Flash animations published in the book Flash Math Creativity. Yesterday I posted Oscillating Ellipses.
Today’s Silverlight animation is a slight variation of the one I posted yesterday. In this animation there is no vertical or horizontal radius for the ball movement, so each ball appears to come straight at you.
Ellipses Toward Us
Like yesterday’s animation, today’s was also originally created by Jamie MacDonald using Actionscript. Here it is using Silverlight.
I did a bit more refactoring to the code for this animation. Now almost all of the animation parameters are contained within the ball class. This should allow me to create variations of the ball fairly easily in future animations.
