My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean.         Bring Back My Bonnie To Me.



Another relative of the ticker tape applets. Here, the letters undulate in place like waves at the beach. The double buffering technique used in the Cylon Applet is also used here to provide a smoother result. However, some jittering can still be seen from the truncation error arrising from the required use of integers as location pointers



The source (.java) and binary (.class) files are free for the taking. Have fun. If you think of any unusual ways to use them drop me a line.
