Package DE.purple_sunshine.bigbro Description

This package contains all the relevant classes for two applets that were created for the website of BigBrother 2. The applets are:

SpyApplet: an Applet that displays the current positions of the inhabitants of the house and animates their movement from one position to another. For a quick overview, see the UML Class Diagram.
Documentation on how to use that applet in a website is available here.
A little demo is also available!
The JAR-File locator.jar contains all the needed classes (Java 1.1.8 compliant, if Netscape gives you trouble: simply right-click and choose save as...).

CountdownApplet: an Applet that does a fancy animation counting down the days, hours, seconds and milliseconds until some event occurs. It synchronizes its time with the server - if available and its animation can be switched on and off.
Documentation on how to use that applet in a website is available here.
A little demo is also available - make sure you click the ON button!
The JAR-File countdwn.jar contains all the needed classes (Java 1.1.8 compliant, if Netscape gives you trouble: simply right-click and choose save as...).
