Although I'm happy with the animation commands available, I noticed that for my project, doing small animations, like when presenting menus, buttons in a fancy animation is not hard, but it demands a lot of code and time.

TGC, how about adding "Tweener" capabilities to Tier 1 and Tier 2. Basically, the tweener would allow you to, for example, the initial and final coordinates, and how the sprite would be animated during the path (transitions, etc...).

I just found that the tweener class has already been ported to C++, so it wouldn't be hard (always easy to say it) to add to AGK.

It is an open source project hosted here:

I think I could save hundreds of lines of code with that ability.

How about that, TGC ?

not bad.

Let's put a request on the bugs website

I guess it's abit like AMAL (AMOS Animaton Language) on the Amiga AMOS system from the early 90's, that I know Lee is so inspired by

Request posted already. I really think this would be an amazing addition and a nice advantage over the competition

This website shows all types of transition that you can make your sprite move using it in a live demo if you are interested (Flash based).

It really helps to show what is this all about.


Imagine this being done "under the hood" ?

Here's more information on it. You can probably program this yourself but having helper functions to do some of the work would be nice.

maybe someone can wrap up Tweener for agk Tier2
