animation engine

[DarkDragon]

anyone ever tried to program an 'animation' engine?

hmmm that's a bit hard to explain take a look at cartoon channel / nickelodeon / jetix

some cartoons are 'flat' characters, coloured fields if you wish, surrounded by thick and thin lines, in other words, there's no real 3d

how difficult would it be to create such a thing in purebasic? haven't got a clue where to start, but i think i'd stay away from the regular 3d engines or approaches, any suggestions?

But use another engine instead .

well, i did stumble over your site, but there were a few reasons why i didn't look too deeply into it... one of them was the somewhat 'under construction' looks of the site, i am under the impression that the engine is not ready, or is it?

I wouldnt go with that "engine" if you ask me.

I know, that's why I said:

But it has already over 60-70 functions and automatic collision.

well, it may be interesting, looks like some sort of opengl wrapper, it's for a very specific purpose so i don't mind using the 'wrong' engine as long as it's cheap and works
