Sparky

Sparky displays the shape of an image using animated, glittering stars. Both the image and the shape of the star can be modified. Because of the complexity of the visual effect, the applet precalculates the images of the animation into the memory.

      <! Note: The parameteres size, number and frames have a high influence on the
               amount of time that is needed for the precalculations! The smaller 
               those values are, the faster the precalculation will be done! >
