KAOS

Can I add an animated background? Of course. But depends on hardware/connection. Let's try... I predict fail. Edit: Failed. Though at some point this will happen for desktop/workstation versions.

Most of the "development" stuff is out of the way... next I will make some "clean" versions.

Gusty winds. A leaf blew off my tree. 16 rain drops in the bucket!!! This is awesome.

Now it works... https://k-a-0-s.github.io/airports.html

Do not underestimate that which has not been underestimated.

Light rain thus far... just enough to make outside chores more cumbersome. Blobs are on my doorstep.

Indeed... it is very blobby.

Both airports and zip codes are live. Added radar and warning to airport map. Both are accessible from the configuration menu by clicking on the "Airport" or "Postal" text.

Zip Code map live... https://k-a-0-s.github.io/zipcodes.htm

Also adding Airport map... For all the airport codes.

Should be helpful when entering zip codes into the emulator's config menu. Will be accessible by clicking Zip Code text in the menu.

New Zip Code Map.... Hover over location for zip code. Obviously includes radar and warnings.

New stuff...

Incoming.... Update to increase radar animation loop to 3 hours from within emulator.... const frameCount = 10; // total intervals const startMinutes = -180; // start time offset relative to now, where negative means past const endMinutes = 0; It was 30 minutes.

Welcome to the Grand illusion.

I will try to encapsulate... best no charge ad free weather app disguised as an emulator.

This... is done.

If this doesn't work out for most... then you are doomed. JMO.

Sound is done and updated on the site. I am fast.

Yeah. Gotta a feeling quite a few of us will be seeing rain this evening.

And yet another idea... The audio files are high quality and stereo. Don't think we need stereo audio for mobile. The sound files are currently around 10mb per file, plus the intro sound which is 1mb. Good thing I also happen to be a sound engineer.

Also... if you click the link above, it takes you to the NWS json file from which the data is extracted.

Glad you like it. Everything should now be working at this link.... https://k-a-0-s.github.io/mobile.html Still need to do some tweaks... but that should be 95% there.
