ATL Video

#1 Post by PyTom »

Finally managed to get far enough ahead on work that I could spend a couple of days implementing ATL, The Animation and Transformation Language that I've been talking about for months. Here's a video demo. I suggest watching in HD if you can, so you can see the revised syntax.

I can imagine making some really trippy scenes with this. Awesome, thanks.

I've been trying so hard to do something like this with Ren'py for hx2. I shall wait patiently for the next release, then.

If anything it is certainly a nice idea to include a demo video for a code, so I recommend continuing this practice for future features.

Back to the subject, it is certainly an interesting code. Will see how it will work in the future.

EDIT: On the other hand, can we complicate matter and add an animation sequence to the code?

Wow, how do you reload the game like that? What's your keypress? ... Is it something you do from the Ren'Py screen or Jedit? Can it be done with SciTe?

For someone like me, this additional language is a dream come true! Opacity, rotation, zoom, movement ... eventually Ren'Py will become more like Flash ...
Don't worry, we can get through it together. I didn't forget about you! I just got overwhelmed.

You can reload the game with shift+R, in Ren'Py.

Reloading isn't perfect, and there are a couple of bugs with it that I haven't been able to totally solve yet. But it's useful enough.

The developer menu (shift+D) is also around, for people who are interested in it.

Sure. The following works:

Code: Select all

image eileen anim:
    "eileen_happy.png"
    pause 1
    "eileen_vhappy.png"
    pause 1
    repeat
So does:

Code: Select all

image eileen anim:
    "eileen_happy.png", 1, "eileen_vhappy.png", 1, repeat
