It simply randomly selects a letter from an array, animates it in, out and then destroys itself. After a few loops the colour flips and the process continues. It’s not the most exciting bit of code in the world, but I think it works nicely.

The font used is Hand of Sean by the talented Sean Johnson.

You can download the windows installer (sorry, no mac version yet), grab the source code or see an in-browser version.

PS: For those playing with the source code, set the blur variable to true, looks much better, but the performance hit is pretty bad.

Just a note to anybody who has a Sigma EF 500 DG Super, make sure you set the flash to Slave mode (pictured above) this stops the flash from switching itself to standby mode and will allow the flash to fire using the standard centre pin (required for the V4 Triggers) rather than the proprietary Canon pins.
