Roxy: Sleepwalk

[agnomen]

Sorry to threadjack a little, but I threw together a Greasemonkey script for those of you who use that instead of Stylish. It's fairly customisable, so if you want a different size/person sleepwalking that's easy enough to change by changing the image source, and you can change the speed at which they float across the screen and the amount they bob up and down by playing around with the variables.

// ==UserScript==
// @name           Sleepwalker
// @namespace      agnomen
// @description    Sleepwalks an image across the top of the browser window.
// @include *mspaintadventures*
// ==/UserScript==


function sleepWalk(sleepwalker, steps){
var speed = 1
var height_from_top = 20
var bob_frequency = 0.3
var bob_height = 7

steps += 1
sleepwalker.style.left = speed*steps
sleepwalker.style.top = height_from_top - Math.floor(bob_height*Math.sin(bob_frequency*steps))
t = setTimeout(function(){sleepWalk(sleepwalker,steps)}, 100)
}

var newPic = document.createElement('img')
newPic.src = "http://i.imgur.com/yM3QX.gif"
document.body.appendChild(newPic)
newPic.style.position = "fixed"
newPic.style.top = 0
newPic.style.left = 0
sleepWalk(newPic, 0)

It works on Firefox 11 with whichever version of Greasemonkey I'm running. No promises if it'll run anywhere else since it's been cobbled together through various dark arts.

Got the Java program, it worked like a charm. Excellent.

I just updated it so that now Roxy can appear at any side of the screen instead of just the right side, the images are embedded in the JAR so you can now run the jar from anywhere, and roxy behaves properly at the top and left edges of the screen. FOR SCIENCE.

This. This is why nice things sleep soundly.

I seem to be having trouble getting it to work, well, at all! I use Google Chrome and I make sure to install to the right browser, but after that, nothing! I've tried 'managing' and 'editing' the style but I can't figure any of this out! What is it that I'm missing?

left: 820px;

That's the Firefox version. Replace this with left: auto !important; and you should be good to go.

DD360, I would guess you're having the same problem?

[Hpboy7]

yayyyyy it works now! thanks a bunch!

I am having the same issue. Is there a certain amount of time that counts as "hover" or something?

I made a thing in Java (yes, I know using Java for this- or pretty much anything actually- a massive waste of resources, but I just wanted to throw something together really quick) that makes Roxy sleepwalk across your screen every 2 - 10 minutes. To close the program, double right-click Roxy.

Screenshot:[link]
Download: [link] (REQUIRES JAVA 7. If you don't have Java 7, you'll just get a black box moving around the screen.)

It won't work properly if you don't have compositing enabled. If you're using basically any non-ancient version of Mac or Linux, you're fine unless you're using a window manager with compositing off. Window Vista and later should have the necessary support as well. Probably.

How smoothly Roxy moves accross the screen is entirely up to your window manager.

EDIT: Updated program. The roxy sprite is now embedded in the JAR, so you can run the jar file from anywhere and it will work. Roxy also now comes from any side of the screen and behaves properly at the top and left sides of the screen, though there is a bit of flicker when she is partially offscreen on the left or top edge of the screen since Java doesn't allow vsync with Graphics2D for some stupid reason.

I can't right-click on her to get her to stop!

HEEEEEEEEEEELP

There's a black box around her, and I'm using java 7 RE.

(I'm still using this. It works better for some panels than others -- if the panel is more zoomed in than the Roxy sprite, things look weird -- but overall it's pretty silly to see her flying around everywhere.)

Are you using Windows XP or eariler? If so, it's window manager doesn't support transparency among other things (kind of ironic considering the OS is named Windows isn't it?). Actually, it might not work on Vista either. I haven't actually tested it on Windows.

Also, you need to double right-click to make it stop, not just right click.

I'm using Windows 7 and I have this problem as well.

[unbridledExüberance]

Do you have Java 7? It won't work with Java 6 since they only recently added support for transparent windows.

[cautiousValidity]

Yes. This is amazing. She is sleepwalking across my screen right now

[digiexpert]

Also on Windows 7 with newest Java here, also having problem with black boxes and rightclicking not working.

[unbridledExüberance]

Huh. Once I'm done with my current programming project, I'll whip up a sleepwalking Roxy in C++ that will hopefully work on Windows since apparently the Java one only works on Linux and Mac?

[digiexpert]

Thanks, but I also need to know how to make this one stop.

EDIT: Ignore me, I'm an idiot, restarting did it.
