Heres a new program that I have to do for school. I had to make fruit grow on a tree and then fall off.. I've done that and now I need to think of some extra animation to add to the program. If you have any ideas plz post them here.

i like the water effects, pretty cool. The loading bar, however, was inappropriately used. At least initialize your variable or whatnot while loading. Probably don't even need one because of the tiny amount of memory used by initializing.

for extra, maybe add some birds? Setting/Rising of the sun?

I only have the loading bar so that I can draw the take a picture of a whole bunch of dots and paste them into the tree program. I need to do this b/c other wise the water takes time to load up while the fruit is falling.

Thats untrue , its just your computer i would have to say , there is never a need for a fake loading bar , i dont feel like going through the whole flame again , but to get to teh point , you will find most peopel really really dont like them

i think shorthair speaks for a lot of people on compsci....

what you could also add would be a sun effect kindof like the water effect, a little duck on the water, maybe even a person poking their head out of the tree.

nice animation!!!

it dos matter , thats the biggest let dow of your program, you show lack of respect t ofast code , if you want feedbak then how about ,it was alright but nothing that great , the water particels were cool but they are just randomly placed dots , if you want to make something that is very very well done , having some background sound , mabye a bird butterfly , rising sun and moon , day to night , and seasons , that would make this awsome , its just a begginging to somthing that has good potential , keep up the good code and it should become somthing great ,SCRAP THE LOADING BAR

I don't like the loading bar either Confused

As for input, I think that when the fruit hits the ground DanShadow should crawl out of the fruit (in bat form) and then fly away.

(btw I'm totally serious)

Just have a squirrel come and take the fruit away Very Happy
And guys, stop ragging him about the loading bar, its his program. If he likes it, theres nothing wrong.
