As a byproduct of fixing rotation tweening, animations employing rotation may appear differently from before.

Okay, I finally looked into how the rotation system works, and I’ve prettymuch gotten it to work. Sadly, you can’t move the object you’re tweening.

Now it works, and it detects rotation tweens… as….. tweens.

Okay, you won’t believe how productive linux is. it’s magickal. The multi-layer issues are prettymuch gone. I just forgot to reset some values inside the loading thing part.

I added a few more icons, so there are icons in the save animations dialog, information dialog, about dialog, execute scripts dialog, and load animations dialog. More icons comming!

Also, I added the helpful “Tip of the Day” feature in Krita, GIMP, etc. it has no content yet, but tons of icons!

a bit shorter and more memorable…

the animation browser now works. its not exactly how the production model will work, but the playback engine is in place, and so is most of the functionality. The rest is basically server code.

Go to the animations tab, and you’ll see a friendly list of animations. right now, they are growsquare.js, moving.js, tradgedy.js, and spin.js. In production, you’ll see discriptive, nicer titles defined from that”name:” box in the canvas toolbar.

Simply click on an animation in that browser, and through AJAX, the animation is loaded and plays automatically. You can play/pause them. and a visible button, with the icon of  a pencil, describes “import animation” which essentially lets you edit it. Click it, and you are transported to the canvas tab where the animation is loaded.

Note to self: Give warnings when loading an animation while canvas contains unsaved data

Lots of the buttons on the toolbar work. Sorry for the downtime, it’s not my fault.

You can now import/export animations through a sweet GUI. As expected, just go to File->Save->As Text to see. You can open it from File->Open->From Text (as in the directions in the window).

If you try loading malformed or AXML data, it reports a nice, human-readable error saying either the data is malformed, check for corruption, or try again. or that the data is of an old version and can’t be imported.
