Cool bit of java

Came across this here via a long series of links.

What you do is, you copy this bit of java and paste it into the "Location" bar, and then watch the graphics do interesting things.

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);

At google.com it's a bit of a laugh, but it was at my "list of smilies" page that it gave really cool results.

Have a play and see what other websites work well with it :o)

Yeah, it's really interesting to watch on the smily page cause you can see the algorithm.

Too bad that most websites nowadays are dynamic and the trick doesn't work on them.

Argh, I hate the name JavaScript, especially since it was intentionally named to create confusion. Java != JavaScript

You made a typo. JavaScript is not Java. :-p

Cool things.

By the way, this happens in google.com/ncr (the international search) and not in google.co.in which is my default search site.

Results vary in other sites. Sometimes nothing happens.

Eh, Java and JavaScript are similar enough (I code extensively in both, so I know) that one can easily and fluently go from Java to JavaScript by just learning a few basic principles. The switch from Java to, say, C++, is much more of a shock.
