By the way, if we had

fun sequential(animations: Collection<Animation>) = SequentialTransition().apply { children.setAll(animations) }

, the last line of my example could be

sequential(animations).play()

.

That would be better (

z

)

Oh, that would be nice, or even just

animations.playSequentially()

I like that better.

It's not that many options, so we could have a couple of those.

Unfortunately, I can't implement or look more at this today, I'm stuck making videos.

I might add some, but I think I'll file a issue on GitHub to add them. My free time is sporadic today.

Very good! Then we can track it later. I'll hold off on the release until we have a chance to add at least some of these.

One downside of the animation helpers right now is

play

is true by default, which is great for simple things, but sucks when you're trying to chain. We may want to revisit that decision, but it would be a breaking change.

I just submitted https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/issues/374

We could turn that into an application wide configurable default if needed, we've done that with several other features.

@Ruckus maybe it depends on context? you use the timeline() as-is with the default autoplay. if the timeline() is used in a new way like with "then", it doesn't use the timeline flag

@Ruckus Would it make sense to support

Iterable<Animation>

instead of

Collection

?

@carlw For that to be possible we need a wrapper, like we did earlier today.

@carlw That would work inside timeline builder, but not for

(r1.move(...) then r2.move(...)).play()

@edvin

Iterable<Animation>

would be a better idea, but the function definition would have to change (

addAll

expects a collection, probably to avoid infinite iterables).

@Ruckus Can't we just call

iterable.toList()

?

That's probably the best way to to.

We could check if it is infact a

Collection

first so we don't create junk objects

I can't wait till someone calls it with an infinite sequence of Animations 🙂

It might be glorious 🙂

@carlw I saw that a while ago. It's pretty awesome.

I'm actually more excited by his visual scripting system though

Maybe just one animated camera, but there could be some stuff moving at different rates

(the clouds)

just watched it 3x in a row again

I wonder if he used an imported mesh of if he generated the building shapes on the fly.

Clouds too for that matter

I'm signing a bunch of code with this app today. i started on a Kotlin version. if anyone signs a lot of JARs LMK https://github.com/bekwam/resignator-repos-1
