Tutorial: Following Words At Cursor

 

Assalamualaikum wbt,

I'm in a very good mood right now so I decided to make a tutorial for you guys. Can you feel the love radiating out of me?! In this tutorial, I will show you how to have words following your cursor. It looks fun. But if you're a person who is a clean freak, I suggest you to ignore this tutorial.

1. Design -> Add a Gadget -> HTML JavaScript

2. Copy and paste the following codes in the box.

<style type="text/css">

/* Circle Text Styles */

#outerCircleText {

font-style: normal;

font-weight: normal;

font-family: 'comic sans';

color: #FF0080;

position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;z-index: 3000;cursor: default;}

#outerCircleText div {position: relative;}

#outerCircleText div div {position: absolute;top: 0;left: 0;text-align: center;}

</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

;(function(){

var msg = "YOUR OWN WORDS";

var size = 24;

var circleY = 0.75; var circleX = 2;

var letter_spacing = 5;

var diameter = 10;

var rotation = 0.4;

var speed = 0.2;

if (!window.addEventListener && !window.attachEvent || !document.createElement) return;

msg = msg.split('');

var n = msg.length - 1, a = Math.round(size * diameter * 0.208333), currStep = 20,

ymouse = a * circleY + 20, xmouse = a * circleX + 20, y = [], x = [], Y = [], X = [],

o = document.createElement('div'), oi = document.createElement('div'),

b = document.compatMode && document.compatMode != "BackCompat"? document.documentElement : document.body,

mouse = function(e){

e = e || window.event;

ymouse = !isNaN(e.pageY)? e.pageY : e.clientY; // y-position

xmouse = !isNaN(e.pageX)? e.pageX : e.clientX; // x-position

},

makecircle = function(){ // rotation/positioning

if(init.nopy){

o.style.top = (b || document.body).scrollTop + 'px';

o.style.left = (b || document.body).scrollLeft + 'px';

};

currStep -= rotation;

for (var d, i = n; i > -1; --i){ // makes the circle

d = document.getElementById('iemsg' + i).style;

d.top = Math.round(y[i] + a * Math.sin((currStep + i) / letter_spacing) * circleY - 15) + 'px';

d.left = Math.round(x[i] + a * Math.cos((currStep + i) / letter_spacing) * circleX) + 'px';

};

},

drag = function(){ // makes the resistance

y[0] = Y[0] += (ymouse - Y[0]) * speed;

x[0] = X[0] += (xmouse - 20 - X[0]) * speed;

for (var i = n; i > 0; --i){

y[i] = Y[i] += (y[i-1] - Y[i]) * speed;

x[i] = X[i] += (x[i-1] - X[i]) * speed;

};

makecircle();

},

init = function(){ // appends message divs, & sets initial values for positioning arrays

if(!isNaN(window.pageYOffset)){

ymouse += window.pageYOffset;

xmouse += window.pageXOffset;

} else init.nopy = true;

for (var d, i = n; i > -1; --i){

d = document.createElement('div'); d.id = 'iemsg' + i;

d.style.height = d.style.width = a + 'px';

d.appendChild(document.createTextNode(msg[i]));

oi.appendChild(d); y[i] = x[i] = Y[i] = X[i] = 0;

};

o.appendChild(oi); document.body.appendChild(o);

setInterval(drag, 25);

},

ascroll = function(){

ymouse += window.pageYOffset;

xmouse += window.pageXOffset;

window.removeEventListener('scroll', ascroll, false);

};

o.id = 'outerCircleText'; o.style.fontSize = size + 'px';

if (window.addEventListener){

window.addEventListener('load', init, false);

document.addEventListener('mouseover', mouse, false);

document.addEventListener('mousemove', mouse, false);

if (/Apple/.test(navigator.vendor))

window.addEventListener('scroll', ascroll, false);

}

else if (window.attachEvent){

window.attachEvent('onload', init);

document.attachEvent('onmousemove', mouse);

};

})();

</script>

3. Replace the green words with your own. I suggest short words.

4. Click Save and you're done.

Now enjoy your ever so amazing cursor!
