eye candy Flowers

hmm, there aren't really many JfKCs at the moment, so here is a new one!
Standard rules + max linecount: let's say 35 lines (because the drawing methods take many lines)

I think flowers is a big theme, so everybody might be abled to imagine something.

Theme is whatever you can associate with flowers!
moving blossoms, growing flowers,... whatever

Ok, here is my one

Well, it's embarassing to submit this after seing McGiver's, but here you go. I went with the basic SIM approach. I know it's boring, but I also only spent about a half hour on it. It was better than what I get paid to do, so

The flower grows on sunny days. If it doesn't get rain for more than 4 days, it dies. There is a 40% chance of rain everyday.

daysWoRain = 0;
numDay = 1;
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("flower",1);
_root.lineStyle(5,0x006600,100);
_root.moveTo(0,400);
_root.lineTo(550,400);
flower.lineStyle(1,0x000000,100);
flower.moveTo(5,0);
flower.lineTo(5,-100);
flower.curveTo(80,-120,65,-165);
flower.curveTo(0,-125,-65,-165);
flower.curveTo(-120,-145,-5,-100);
flower.lineTo(-5,0);
flower._x = 275;
flower._y = 400;
interval = setInterval(updateFlower,3000);
function updateFlower(path){
    num = Math.random()*10;
    numDay++;
    if(num >6){
        daysWoRain = 0;
        typeOfDay = "Rainy :(";
    }else{
        if(daysWoRain <= 4){
            typeOfDay = "Sunny :)"
            _root.flower._xscale *= 1.05;
            _root.flower._yscale *= 1.1;
            daysWoRain++;
        }else { killFlower(_root.flower);}}
        trace("Day "+numDay+": "+typeOfDay+"      Days w/o rain:"+daysWoRain);
        };
function killFlower(path){
    path.removeMovieClip();
    trace("Your flower has died");
    clearInterval(interval);}

I'll be back at a computer by sunday, hopefully people will play with this. If not, I'll try and make it more exciting, when I'm at home not wasting my boss's money.

[McGiver]

hmm, it should not be embarassing. I just spend more time on it (about 2 hours)

Note: the flower is always dying, so i think the code was ment to be
num = Math.random()*100

[vulcanpimp]

nice scripts. has anyone seen a site called something like u-control.com

it was around about two years ago , and showed scripts to make flowers grow. They not only looked good but grew realistically as well.

[McGiver]

two variations:

more color:

//background=white/orange; fps =24
function createflowerblast(i) {

I really love this one:

    _root["flower"+i].leafpoints = Math.round((Math.random()*2+1))*2;
    _root["flower"+i][leafpoint+(0)] = -Math.sqrt(Math.random()*100)*3;
    for (k=1; k<=_root["flower"+i].leafpoints; k++) {
        _root["flower"+i][leafpoint+k] = _root["flower"+i][leafpoint+(k-1)]-Math.sqrt(Math.random()*100)*3+5;
        _root["flower"+i].leafsize += _root["flower"+i][leafpoint+k];}
    for (j=0; j<_root["flower"+i].leafs; j++) {
        _root["flower"+i].createEmptyMovieClip("leaf"+j, j+10);
        _root["flower"+i]["leaf"+j].lineStyle(1, 0x990000, 50);
        _root["flower"+i]["leaf"+j].beginFill(0xffffff,50)
        for (k=1; k<=(_root["flower"+i].leafpoints); k += 2) {
            _root["flower"+i]["leaf"+j].curveTo(Math.sqrt(_root["flower"+i].leafpoints-k)*-15, _root["flower"+i][leafpoint+k], Math.sqrt(_root["flower"+i].leafpoints-(k+1))*-15, _root["flower"+i][leafpoint+(k+1)]);}

hmm, tell me if I'm wrong, but is it possible that the interess of most people here is far away from Just for kicks challanges?!
Come on guys (and girls) summer is over! time to get back to the good old PC!
This is no competition! just feel free to post what you created, or create something! Don't care to be better or worse than anyone else! Try to be different, and show us what you imagined to a theme!

@ dzy2566 I like your living plant!

[dzy2566]

Thanks Mc., I'm going to hit it again tonight and see what else I can do with it. I was away camping this weekend so I didn't have tiem to play with it, but it was a blast. Though my fingers are killing me from palying the guitar so much. I'm not sure I can type anymore. Ha. Anyway, I appreciate the encouragement and I'm going to submit another one soon.

[vulcanpimp]

this is my attempt.

its a few lines over but, quite frankly it doesn't bother me.

you can download it here.

or the codes here

this.createEmptyMovieClip("flame", 2);

yeah, this looks cool!
