  • 1.  Racing results / leaderboard animations

    Posted 04-12-2024 12:31

    I am currently working on a racing project, and the client has requested a side leaderboard or results page. They are looking for a way to animate the positions changing dynamically. They want the animation to visually represent the movement of positions instead of just instantaneous changes. For example, if the person in 1st place moves to 3rd place, they would like to see 1 slide down and 2 and 3 move up in real-time.

    Additionally, they are interested in whether this animation can be triggered by changes in the data feed automatically, without requiring manual updates. I am unsure if this functionality is achievable with Xpression. Any assistance, suggestions, or insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Sounds nightmarish.

    If you are any good at VB, then you could do it.

    You would have to analyze data as it changed and determine all the new positions.

    You would then have to dynamically create animation controllers and play them.

    Layering precedence could get real messy.

    Ugh, it sounds like more work than it's worth.

    Thanks

    Visual Basic, create functions that animate up and down based on X-number of pixels...
    Then you'd have to have an array of all the racers, and run through all of them for each change in this array.

    Not gonna be easy, but it is possible.
