JQuery plugin to create rich animations ( works on iPhone ) (spritely.net)

Spritely is a jQuery plugin for creating animations in pure HTML and JavaScript ( therefore no Flash plugin is required ).

Resulting animations also work on iPhone.

This looks cool with the Hacker News Chrome plugin ... the blackbirds are flying over HN as I type this.

This is the most frustrating website I have visited in the last year. If I click on a link (or anywhere) I don't want to have it obscured by a fluttering bird!

Nice, except it maxes out a full core for me. Reminds me of one of those arguments against Flash... something to do with performance...

I don't know if CPUs can support it, or if there are enough events. But, somebody, please, hack together DuckHunt. It would be awesome to play on an iPad.

So you're thinking that you'd use a finger-gun for that? Maybe mount some kind of wii-mote or lightpen on your index finger?

This is the kind of thing that Adobe should be working on. Tools and libraries for a post Flash world.
