How's the weather?

Hello my friendly user from:


This is a short post on some weird odds and ends that I've happened upon or plan to hit before submitting a weather app for le webdev class. One of the fun things I've taken to this semester because of another course is hand drawing things. This includes fun image assets for the wx application, which were then processed through GIMP with the help of Fuzzy Select and a gridboxes to make high resolution sprites!

Several rows of sprites for weather, ranging from rain droplets to tornados and windsocks!

I'm rather excited to start exploring how to grab out each of the sprites, scaling them down, and then animating them across the window. It seems like the best option is to assign each sprite to an id or class. Then modify the DOM whenever a new tick occurs to inject a new set of objects from the given sprites that travel in the direction of the wind for a given segment.
