Phi, Ø, ø, otherwise known as the Golden Ratio is roughly 1.6180339887. Phi has some interesting properties. { 1÷Ø = 1-Ø } & { ز = 1+Ø } and appears in the Fibonacci series as the difference between two consecutive numbers in the series. { I(n+1) = I(n)+I(n-1) 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,... I(n+1)÷I(n) ~ Ø } |
Click on Fast or Slow and watch the images rotate and grow by Ø, where each successive image is Ø larger than what came before. Next and Prev single step between frames.
The animation is very low tech and is implemented as a series of refreshing or redirecting HTML pages. This avoids using server-side cgi code and/or client-side JavaScript resulting in a secure animate that is guaranteed to work in all browsers. The Slow version takes about 75 seconds to complete, while the Fast version completes in about 12 seconds.
Admittedly, this is pretty silly. But, using Excel, I had recently made a cool animated .GIF image in a square format, and I thought it might be fun to animate the animation to Phi.
Besides, it annoys the guys at work who think I have too much time on my hands.
