Apologies, my servers were overloaded with traffic yesterday. Was honestly caught off guard by the huge spike this demo caused. Now running with 3 EC2 Squid servers behind an Amazon Elastic Load Balancer. They're handling it much better :)

Now-a-days the equivalent would be something like Pro Motion for PC: http://www.cosmigo.com/promotion/index.php

Ha ha ha ha ha! He knows, believe me. I guess he should update his site, and link to my demo! Hehehe.

I actually tried for hours and hours to get this working natively in IE with VML (which is what excanvas uses behind the scenes). Unfortunately, it is just WAY too slow (each pixel becomes an "object" in VML space -- yeech). So I had to cheat with Chrome Frame for now. I am looking at implementing this in Flash for IE 6/7/8 (should be totally possible with their high performance BitmapData and ByteArray objects in ActionScript 3).

It was my pleasure! :)

Most of the scenes are from an old, animated desktop calendar app from 1993 called "Seize The Day" (can't find a link anymore). I believe the rest are from one of the Magic The Gathering games for PC.
