November 23, 2003

Well, the -20c temperatures (that's -4f for those of you stuck with archaic systems of measurement), and 20cm+ of snow (8") we got over the past week tells me it's about time to dust off the old snowflakes code, and make it available to the community. There's a lot of code available for simulating snow, but I think my extensive real-life experience (brrr!) gives mine an edge, plus it comes with a cute peacenik snowman.

This is the same FlashMX version that's been available on my site for a year and a bit now, with a few minor modifications. I plan to post an MX 2004 class based version, just for the helluvit, in the near future.

You can take a look at the Flash snowfall swf, then download the free FLA. Peace on Earth, and goodwill to men. :)

Also, here's a nice (though completely uncredited - Oscar, you bastard! :) usage of my code with some nice snowflake artwork tossed in.

Hey Grant, I knew I saw that before somewhere... I just modified "some code" I found months ago, I don't remember where, but it wasn't your site, of course. My sincere apologies, though I didn't stole it from you (directly) :)

Anyhow, my snowfall is all about the flakes, and those are mine, unless Nature speaks up! Thanks fot the link :)

good thing i live in Ecuador, we got no snow here :)

looking at the snow fla from both oscar trelles and you made me think if a day will come when the only snow we'll ever see is from a computer screen.

Nice work - I love snow.
