** Installation **
** **
***********************
1> Upload the AnimatedCaptcha folder (including sub-folders) to your host in a location visible to the web. Erase the version number at the end of the folder name.
2> Navigate to /AnimatedCaptcha/example.php and try the the script out
3> Implement into your existing site and enjoy a spam free environment :]
***********************
** **
** Common Hacks **
** **
***********************
1> Implement AnimatedCaptcha using an Object Oriented programming paradigm - OOP4.php & OOP5.php work flawlessly right out of the box. Goto line 48 in example.php and uncomment your choice of implementations to switch to OOP.
2> Change the way the animation looks - create new frames using The GIMP or Photoshop and upload over the existing images in /frames/. GIF FORMAT ONLY!!!
3> Increase / Decrease the time elapsed between frames - Seek out $time [ ] array in index.php, OOP4.php or OOP5.php and make your changes. 100 = 1 second.
4> Increase the number of answers - Search out rand(1, 9) in index.php {~line 21 & 22} and change them to your desired settings {ex. rand(0, 99) for random numbers between 0-99}.
5> Only use +/- (no multiplication) - Search out rand(0, 2) in index.php {~line 23} and change to rand(0, 1).
