Graphics challenge

In old adventure games (the type I like) frequent use was made of a technique called colour cycling.

Some examples of this technique are here:
http://www.effectgames.com/demos/canvascycle/

Sythe.org has a very monochromic colour-scheme, and could therefore probably be colour cycled according to time of day or some other slow moving seed.

The trick would to first come up with a set of palettes for the site (i.e. variations on the colour scheme which are effectively only hue shifts) and then figure out how to cycle the site slowly through them using javascript.

There's a particular game: dune 1 by cryo interactive where day becomes night in the desert which looks just awesome. You can find a play through of that game on youtube if you're interested.

I expect to give out a prize (or prizes) if anyone pulls this off effectively. Post your code here and I'll have a look.

I'm not trained in java, but this link might be helpful for someone who is:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!-- Beginfunction getCSS(){datetoday = new Date();timenow=datetoday.getTime();datetoday.setTime(timenow);thehour = datetoday.getHours();

if (thehour > 20)display = "tree_twilight.css";
else if (thehour > 17)display = "tree_sunset.css";
else if (thehour > 14)display = "tree_afternoon.css";
else if (thehour > 11)display = "tree_noon.css";
else if (thehour > 7)display = "tree_morning.css";
else if (thehour > 4)display = "tree_sunrise.css";
else if (thehour > 1)display = "tree_twilight.css";
elsedisplay = "tree_sunset.css";

var css = '';

document.write(css);// End -->}</script><script language="javascript">getCSS();</script>

Hopefully this helps someone who knows more than I do. This is a pretty cool idea, and I'd like to see how it turns out.

 

Wait, we have to know how to code :3 ?

yeah i have no clue how to code yet lol i could make a beast one like .gif or somthing. i am going to be learning how to code a website in a few months tho.
is there any way that we could just design it and have someone els code it?
also what would the prizes be because if i work on it it will have to be worth my while.

I think he just wants people to make new themes for different times of the day. Someone else (Govind/Matthew) will probably do the coding

Edit: i was wrong, but what i said makes more sense.
