ThingMaker also tended to mangle the palettes of most other GIFs, but we managed to work around this by using 24-bit images and letting ThingMaker convert them to GIFs. On the playback front, we found multiple Things played back remarkably well at the same time, but controls occasionally became slightly unresponsive after executing multiple commands on multiple Things in a scene. We also didn't like the way Parable's trademark appeared while images were downloading. ThingMaker is one of those rare programs that can instantly enhance virtually any Web page. Pentium PC, Microsoft Windows 95 or NT, 16MB RAM, 5MB hard disk space, Netscape Communicator and Netscape Navigator 3.02 or higher or Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.02 or higher.
All controls are drag and drop, and there is no scripting language.
ThingMaker has flexible development options for when Things collide. Most actions provide similar flexibility, allowing for many different effects. Inc. All rights reserved. Inc.
