Animation

[J. Downs]

Thanks, Malte.  I've downloaded the AnimationEngine trial and will take a look this afternoon.  :)

At this time, I am just playing around, so I will be developing on Mac OS X for deployment on same.  If I get really crazy, I might see how my ideas run on my BootCamp Windows install.  Not looking at any mobile deployments for now.

I did lots of arcade-style development back in the day—and by that, I mean almost 30 years ago using Player-Missile Graphics in both BASIC and machine language on my Atari 800XL.  (Wow, I'm old.)  I also did my share of heavy-lifting with HyperCard in the late '90s, so I'm extremely comfortable with the LC core concepts.

Just bridging the gap by trying a few fun idea.  I'd like to try a side-scroller with parallax and some other challenges.

Thanks in advance to any other ideas you all might have.

J.

Regarding animationEngine: As the developer of said add on it comes naturally for me to think it is helpful, however, it is written completely in liveCode. No rocket sience in it, just making life a little easier I guess. If you have the time to read a lot of tutorials and books there is nothing in it an experienced livecode developer couldn't write themselves with a few months / years of time. :-)
