Which way does Zelda's avatar move? (Zelda please post here so everyone can look)

[Optium]

When you look at the border of Zelda's avatar, which way do you see it
moving? At first it was going clockwise for me, but then the left side started
to go down, then all the sides started to just go back and forth 1 pixel,
but then they started going back and forth 2 pixels, and then more and
more until it was changing directions every time 1 of the dots got to an
end of a side.

So, which way does it look like it's moving to you?

*edit* oop, now it's going counter clockwise.

[Jess]

it depends where on the avatar you focus on, which makes it appear to be moving in different directions. I say clockwise.

[Optium]

Nah, it's just relative to the person's perception. The place that you look at only
matters because if you look somewhere else, your perception will change. Your
brain sees what it wants to...or expects...to see, so if you reset what it's seeing
(by looking at another location) you may see it moving a different way. I also
just noticed that the speed can vary as well.

[Flying Mullet]

It moves?

[Sasquatch]

It doesn't move. It alternates. Like so.

Almost like a strobe light. By the time you see it, it changes, and your mind puts motion to it.

[Old Manus]

Ah, the old 'psychology thread in disguise' trick

YOU CAN'T FOOL ME HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Flying Mullet]

Perhaps it's stationary and you're moving around it?

[Primus Inter Pares]

ahhhhhhhh, my brain, it hurts ;_;

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I go with Sasquatch with this one. It not moving.

[Primus Inter Pares]

Isn't it just two different images flashing on and off?

[Sasquatch]

Isn't it just two different images flashing on and off?

Yes. Like a cartoon, or a strobe light. We just put motion to it.

[Rainecloud]

I'm now having an epileptic fit.

Thanks for that.

[Zeldy]

Sasquatch is right, it dosn't move, but its so hawt :love:

[Captain Maxx Power]

It's kinda vibrating somewhat, and the edges are...

What the fudge happened to the forum controls?!

Clockwise.

[Chris]

My eyes. *Dies*

[Optium]

Obviously it's not "moving" in any set direction or this thread wouldn't
exist, but that doesn't change the fact that we perceive movement,
which is in fact the basis of the question itself. :D

.opt

[Kamiko]

It's blinking isn't it?

[Polyonymous]

To me it looks like the sides are moving upward while the top and bottom are both moving to the left. Though if I focus, I can just see it as flashing...

[Psychotic]

IT'S A HYPNO RAY! QUICK, AVERT YOUR EYES BEF...I like the Rasmus. Lauri is a god. I love the Rasmus. Lauri is a cod.

[omnitarian]

It moves clockwise, unless I look at the top right corner. :erm:

[rubah]

counter clockwise, ironically because I always look at teh top right corner first.

[Madonna]

Clockwise.It's actually four images, not two, and it does go clockwise.

[Primus Inter Pares]

Yeah, but we were refering to the border, so that would really be the two images.

[Madonna]

...No; there are four images. The border is the reason that there are four of them.

[Optium]

No, the border is in Place A in the first frame, and Place B in the second,
then Place A again in the third and Place B again in the fourth. There are
two places for the border to be in and that is the "2" to which Primus is
referring. The only reason there are 4 different frames is because Zelda
didn't want the heart to be blinking as fast as the border, so she made
the heart on in 2 of the frames and off in the other 2.

.opt

[Madonna]

XD Yeah, I noticed that after I posted and went, "Awwww, @#$^ it. I'm not editing that. It's still four images." Yay for laziness.
