Animations in LC

[Martin Koob]

There was an animation library for LiveCode called animationEngine developed by Malte Brill.  He stopped development, changed the licence to public domain and put it up on GitHub.

https://github.com/derbrill/animationEngine/blob/master/README.md
animationEngine/README.md at master · derbrill/animationEngine
github.com


I don’t know if it would work with LiveCode 10 or LC Create. In his readme he said:

animationEngine 6 has been optimized to work with liveCode version 6.7 and 
higher, including, but without warranty the current developer preview of the liveCode 9 engine 
(which is by the time of this writing version 9.01)

 I haven’t tried it out to check it if runs on LiveCode 10.  I don’t have a need for it at the moment.

Maybe it would belkk
Best regards,

Martin Koob
