Animation stuff

So today I was bored. I just finished Season 2 of Broadchurch and had no idea what to do. So I decided to try my hand at animation. I found this really good tutorial over here.

 More specifically I went into the character walking part of the tutorial.

Now while drawing, I realised I didn't have a way to see how my animation turned out.

So I hacked away a nice little program in C# Winforms to view it.

I dubbed it "AnimationHelper". It's fairly basic without much features, but also very simple to use. Zip up all the image files (png only;it's by design, I hate all other file formats) of the animation and load that into the program, either through the Open File button or through Drag N' Drop. The default is 1 frame per second which can be adjusted, and I have a pause/play button.

That's basically all there is. Not even a "Developer" section attributing myself as the creator, or loading directly from psd/xcf files (Photoshop and Gimp respectively),or adjusting the position,or spritesheet adjusting, or basic editing, or exporting it as a video. None of that fancy stuff.

But it got the job done nicely, and I liked stuff I made myself which I can trust.

Side-thought : The code was hacked together so badly I'm not sure I can even trust my own code.....The Irony.

If you're looking to use something like this and are looking for a Download Link, Let me reassure you I will definitely not release this. It's an abomination. It's a single-platform only hacked together code in a couple hours by someone who barely even knows C#. The only good thing I could say about it is its simplicity.

If you want something like this I suggest this place (I am not sponsored, this is not mine)

It's written in HTML5 by the way, so if you're worried about not having a connection when you want to use it, Just hit Ctrl+S (Or whatever the Apple Equivalent is...) on the page.

Well.... back to drawing instead of procrastinating at my terrible art skills and making a program for no reason.
