Screensaver

Bringing back the screensaver! It would support IE but I ran out of bytes. This requires an absolutely positioned element in order to work (as the collision box).

function(
a, //References an absolutely positioned collision box style property
b, //The width to use for the collision box
c, //The height to use for the collision box
d, //Starting x coordinate and placeholder for x coordinate of the box
e, //Starting y coordinate and placeholder for x coordinate of the box
j //Interval to redraw the box
){function h(){ //Redraw the box
a.left= //Set the x coordinate
(d+= //by adding or subtracting it to the current x coordinate
b*= //by adding or subtracting the box width
d<0|d>innerWidth?-1:1) //by checking if it is still inside the viewport and multiplying in the appropriate direction
+'px'; //and then setting the coordinate to the style property
a.top= //Set the y coordinate
(e+= //by adding or subtracting it to the current y coordinate
c*= //by adding or subtracting the box height
e<0|e>innerHeight?-1:1) //by checking if it is still inside the viewport and multiplying in the appropriate direction
+'px' //and then setting the coordinate to the style property
}setInterval(h,j) //and then calling a redraw to move the box at the given interval
}
