Background Image Slideshow

The background image feature has been enhanced to support slide shows. Just provide your background images with an increasing counter, like this:

my-game-bg0.png
my-game-bg1.png
my-game-bg2.png

Big Box 3D will automatically present them in this order as a slideshow. The time between changes is 10 seconds by default and can be adjusted with the bginterval config option / URL parameter.

Breaking change: if you only want to provide just one background image, name it my-game-bg0.png instead of my-game-bg.png.

Video Backgrounds

Big Box 3D now supports video backgrounds:

provide a my-game-bg.mp4 file and set the background file extension to mp4 within your config or via bgext=mp4 URL parameter and Big Box 3D will use that video as the background.

Rotation Parameters

You can now customize the speed and amortization behavior as well as the initial rotation with the following config options:

option	description	default value	example
rotation_speed	the rotation speed of the box when mouse-dragged (default: 20, range: 1-100)	`20`	`40` for faster rotation when mouse-dragged
rotation_amortization	the amortization of the rotation speed when mouse released (default: 0.91, range: 0.1-1.0)	`0.91`	`0.99` for slower amortization, `0.87` for faster amortization, `1.0` for no amortization at all
rotation_initial_x	initial rotation on the x-axis (default: 0.15, range: -1.0 to 1.0)	`0.15`	`0.20` for a faster initial rotation, `-0.15` for inverted initial rotation
rotation_initial_y	initial rotation on the y-axis (default: -0.15, range: -1.0 to 1.0)	`-0.15`	`-0.20` for a faster initial rotation, `0.15` for inverted initial rotation

Background Images (and GIFs)

As an alternative to a static colored background, you can now load an image.

The background image should end with -bg.

New options:

bgext the file extension of the background file (provide this if you have a background image file with a different extension than the texture files of the box), e.g. "gif" if you have .gif background files
usevignette use a vignette effect for the background

External Link when Embedded

If Big Box 3D is embedded, a link will be available to open it up exclusively in a new tab.

User-Defined External Link

With the following options you can now define an external link (shown in the lower left corner):

extlink2 an external link to be displayed in the bottom left corner
extlink2_innerhtml the innerHTML of the external link
