Finished a new version of the gallery template, this time fading in thumbnails instead of having them move. It's less dynamic, but more like the Flickr galleries it will be replacing. We also had our first group meeting where we hashed out my need for design guidance (in terms of the aesthetics desired for the art gallery) so that what I create is actually what they want. This template can be found here.code can be found in the comments section. removing the movement reduced the amount of code from around 300 lines to around 100 lines.
code: note that the delay is created not by using a timer, but by counting the number of frames that has passed. i got this idea from researching the code for tower defense games for a game design class I took.
