Hi. I've wanted to see this animation for a long time, and I was wondering if anyone slightly more computer literate than me could make it. Imagine a Yin-Yang rolling over itself and simultaneously having the dot in the center grow out and consume the side it's on as another dot appears within it of the opposite color. So like, white side has its black dot grow and consume it while in the middle of the black appears a new white dot with the opposite happening on the other side, again, all while it's rolling over itself. I would love to see this animation, and it would be a dream come true if someone could make one avatar size for me. Thanks a lot if anyone actually tries to help me out here, and thanks anyway for reading.

I think thats more of a graphic design request rather than a programming request. I'm not sure if you're likely to get as many answers to it as you had hoped since its in the programming forum. But you never know, a lot of programmers and web developers have excellent graphics skills. You might get lucky...

Hey Amarth!

I made a shot at it!

I posted it in Tilted Artwork 'cause here HTML isn't allowed.

Probably not the way you imagined it, but a try anyway.
Let me know if you like something changed, I'll try to find some time to do it.
I forgot a bit you wanted a GIF out of it (for your avatar) (I think swf (Flash) isn't allowed). I'll make some changes so that will work later.

(If you're familiar with Flash, let me know, then I'll send you the .fla files (Sourcefiles).

Cheers,
T.U.B.

The arm with the sword rose up as if newly stretched aloft, and round the figure blew the free winds of heaven.”

That's pretty freakin' close and pretty freakin' cool T.U.B. Thanks a whole lot. I am not familiar with flash... shamefully. I've been meaning to start learning for like, what, three years now? I need to get on that. I kinda got brain fried after taking a couple of Java courses at school :-P. Thanks though.

Things to change (if you find the time and happen to feel like it. I don't wanna be a bother, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to just ask) would be have them rotating the other way so that the "front end" (i guess it doesn't really have a front, but I think you know what i mean... the end with the dot in it) is leading the way. Also, have only the two colors, black and white, and have them encompass the entire section. Like I said, I don't know how to do these things so maybe I'm asking for you to do something really hard, and if I am I'm sorry and don't worry about it, but it sounds easy in my head ^_^.

Thanks again,
