The ANIMATIC ANIMATION SYSTEM lets you quickly create professional
quality animated shapes on your Atari ST. The main program, ANIMATIC,
offers:
o User-friendly interface employing icons and pop-up menus. Includes
full UNDO capability.
o Editing easily done with drawing tools (as in NeoChrome and Degas).
o Shapes ("films") animate continuously as you edit. No need to press
a "play" button to see the animation; see your changes instantly.
o Edit up to 100 films at once.
o Films can be any size from 8x8 to 48x48 pixels. Film length is
limited only by available memory.
o Films animate from 0 to 60 frames a second. Animation is flicker-free.
o Films can repeat, pause, or change direction after the last frame.
o NeoChrome and Degas pictures can be loaded into a separate "cut
screen" and edited. Shapes from NeoChrome and Degas pictures can be
easily incorporated in Animatic films.
o Fully interactive NeoChrome-style fatbits, with eight levels of
magnification.
o Mouse scaling can be changed to allow finer control. The mouse can be
controlled from the keyboard with the arrow keys (no need to hold down
Alt or Shift).
o Includes a full screen for manipulating the palette. Copy, swap, or
shift colors, or select from a 512-color box. Palettes can be saved.
The ANIMATIC ANIMATION SYSTEM also includes The Sourcerer, which quickly
converts your animated shapes into source code. Features include:
o Source code can be created for ANY programming language. Source
code generation is performed through "source code formats" which
describe the appearance of the source code. You aren't locked
into a predefined set of supported languages.
o Predefined formats provided for C, Pascal, Modula-2, 68000 assembly
language, and BASIC (with line numbers or without).
o Formats can be easily customized with any text editor.
o New formats can be created for new languages or special needs.
Also packaged with the ANIMATIC ANIMATION SYSTEM are source code
examples showing how to do professional quality animation. Included
is source code to a complete arcade-style maze game written in C.
All source code provided with the package can be used in your programs
with no licensing agreements or fees of any kind.
