A simple jQuery-powered animation
This is from a jQuery lesson. I've implemented it somewhat differently than the original, however, with stars and (predetermined but) differing speeds of planets.
Also an "extras" project under my blog, TheHomeworkLife (GitHub).
- A sun centered using jQuery
- Planets moved using jQuery using trigonometry
- Randomly generated, "twinkling" and fading stars
- Animated planets going at speeds inversely proportional to their distance from the sun
- Hunter Lightman's icons. (Thanks, Hunter!)
