The idea
An empty night sky becomes filled with shooting stars generated by people dreams. Flash pulls the dreams from an RSS feed generated by the Twitter search term #dreamt. All of the Tweet Dreams are parsed by Flash and one by one shot out across the sky where they reveal their message before settling back into the sky. The file can be setup to start at any size, although cannot be re-sized whilst running.
What’s next?
Currently no thought has been put into design, so that is obviously the next step. I would like to get some particle effects for the stars as they whiz by and create a proper scene (maybe a little silhouetted town) to replace the grass down below. It also needs an introduction and a loader. I was thinking of starting with some famous quotes about dreams, “To sleep, perchance to dream” – Shakespeare.
