Instructions

HTML Code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
	<title>Snow Demo</title>           
    <style>
        body {
            padding:0; margin:0;
        }
        #demo {
            display: block;
			width: 100%;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>  
<img id="demo" src="sample.jpg" alt="snowy landscape">
<!-- for test only -->
 
<!-- If you add scripts before closing body tag, it will not prevent page
from rendering, thus making your website load faster -->
<script src="jsized.snow/jsized.snow.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>        
<script>
    /**
     * This function takes 2 arguments
     * First is the path to the directory with snowflake images
     * Second is the maximum number of snowflakes, please do not
     * set this number above 60 as it will impact the performance
     */
    createSnow('jsized.snow/', 100);
</script>
 
</body>

Finally, you've just created a snow effect than you can use for your projects or system. For more questions and inquiries, feel free to comment below or email me at [email protected]

Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. After downloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.

Virus note: All files are scanned once-a-day by SourceCodester.com for viruses, but new viruses come out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE:

1. Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
2. NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
