[WIP] sweet animation = add sugar to animation library

[wolf_II]

sweet animation = add sugar to an animation librarywrite your own sugar.ahk or check the examples
Intended goals:

• write a easy to use, generally useful class, maybe merge GLOBALS.ahk to a single file, technically not making a pure class, hmm ..
• grow Sugar.ahk to contain as much syntax sugar as one pleases, this is the FUN part
• grow Maths.ahk as required by the currently present example scrpts
• grow Physics.ahk as required by the currently present example scrpts

Credits:

• Chris Mallett for AutoHotkey v1.0
• Steve Gray for AutoHotkey v1.1 (Lexikos)
• Tic for his awesome Gdip library
• tmplinshi for his awesome AutoXYWH() function ; not yet used but planned
• AHK-forum I have collected code snippets for about 10 years
• Whenever I forget to mention anybody in particular, please post about it
• my own effort is to glue everything together, and present code that I can still read and understand in 6 moths time

Requirement:

• min Windows version 8.x
• UpdateLayeredWindow requires WS_EX_LAYERED to work with controls rather than just with top-level Windows. (thx just me for the hint)

Structure:

• a folder Animation with example scripts containing ...
• Lib folder with
  • class Animation.ahk ; work in progress
  • GLOBALS.ahk ; is currently a separate file
  • Sugar.ahk ; make it as sweet as you like
• Include folder with
  • Maths.ahk
  • Physics.ahk

@guest3456 oops, sorry, I'm going to add some soon.

Not much to see: I have just drawn straight lines on a canvas.

Not sure what happened here, I can only see the first screenshot and two downloads.

Anyway when I was looking for a symmetric flag to draw, wikipedia was showing the pre-1801 Union Flag of Great Britain, unlike the modern, it is very symmetric.
And I need to delete on Exit all my brushes and pens.

Well, we'll discuss to release a special AHK version for the UK in 2019. It'll provide the alternative brExit-command + the interpreter will throw an error once a string contains the character combination 'eu' ! Stay tuned
