DIY Javascript Effects Library
As part of a project I needed an extremely light-weight special effects library that would allow queuing of effects (required), multiple effects, the ability to set a per-effect “framerate”, and enough extensibility to fill any need, but it had to be independent of any Javascript library or OS.
For the “core”: I needed it to be able to queue effects to run one after another, but still be able to run effects synchronously with their own queues. Setting up the effects should take no more than a few lines, and the library should be easy adapted to the website or app it is currently running on. The library must also be cross browser, run well on lower end computers, and very very small (the main reason for creating it was as a replacement in a project for people who didn’t want to use jQuery or Scriptaculous just for the effects.) The core should be able to do everything with only being told the element’s ID, whether we are showing or hiding it (if applicable), and the effect to use.
