What is it?

snow2.js is a toy, original written by some unnamed do-gooder, modified by ol’ ben, but in all honestly, it was a javascript exercise, and a great way to relieve holiday tension.

Where do i get it?

Download it from me.

I also suggest getting the snowflake and explosion images from me as well. I suggest this HIGHLY, because I might give away software for free (as in speech), but I don’t give away bandwidth for free (as in beer). So, DO NOT LINK THOSE IMAGES FROM ME. Thanks.

Where can I see it?

Demo? You want a demo? Okay, here’s your demo!

How do I use it?

Where’d it come from?

snow2.js is a modification of snow.js, which can be found at http://gobi.gmxhome.de/snow/. You can also download a copy of snow.js from me. It was written long ago, and the browser detection didn't work right anymore, So I fixed it up. And by "fixing it up", I mean I added pause, start/stop buttons, and when you click the snowflakes they explode. Happy? Yeah.

Why doesn’t it work in HotJava v0.1B or IE 3.0 or insert old browser here?

Because I hate old browsers. Firefox 1.5+ or IE6+ work great. Use them.

What do you want from ME??

nothing but that you A) don’t take my name off the code and B) you drop me a line if you use the stuff :)
