DragonRuby Animation Editor

This is a GUI for visually editing the animations available in my open source DragonRuby animation library. This supports two kinds of animations:

• Bézier easing: when you want to smoothly transition between two states, a Bézier curve lets you give that transition a nice feel
• Second-Order Dynamics: when you have a dynamic state where you can't use an easing function, a second-order system let's you achieve a similar feel by tweaking parameters like the harmonic frequency and responsiveness

To use this:

1. Download the open source code linked above and add it to your DragonRuby game
2. Play around in this tool until you get an animation that feels right
3. Ctrl-C to copy the code snippet for adding that animation to your game! (desktop version only; if using the web version you need to copy the parameters manually)

Controls:

• B/D switch mode
• In Bézier mode, click and drag the two control points to modify the curve, release to update the preview
• In dynamics mode, F/Z/R to select parameters, type to edit, move your mouse to experiment with the feel
