Notes

JAWAA Editor

New Features:

• Build Data Structures

• Undo

• Editor Playback

• Copy and Paste between animations.

Improvements:

• Better names for new objects: i.e. Circle1 and Rectangle 1 instead of Object1 and Object2

• Grouping within the editor

• Export .anim should automatically add .anim on the end of the file name

Bugs:

• Doesn't recognize color “light_gray” - “Color Factory: No such color” (was entered wrong by the editor - should be “lightgray”)

• Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V don't work

• Deleting Frames and Objects:

  • Deleting objects in later frames makes them disappear all together

  • Deleted a frame, the object I created in that frame disappeared then reappeared

  • Deleting midway times and then using objects created in those times:

    • time.IllegalTimelineOperationException: deleted time used

    • at time.Timeline$Time.compareTo(Timeline.java:429)

Questions:

• Should the outlines on a queue line up better?

• Shouldn't the color of a text primitive be a “textcolor” parameter instead of “color”? I tried changing a text object by using changeParam textcolor and it didn't work but then I changed it to “color” and it was ok.

• How is it decided in what order things are done?

• Right now the program ignores the first line and only does the second line. What should happen?

  • moveRelative elephant 100 100

  • moveRelative elephant -100 -100

• When this is typed the shape flashes back and forth between two color changes then ends up randomly red or blue. What should happen?

  • changeParam orange bkgrd blue

  • changeParam orange bkgrd red

New Features:

• Changing default text size

• Layers – keeping certain objects in front or back

• Rotate / Flip Objects

• Animate Shape Changes (stretching, scaling, polygon morphing) smoothly

• Resizing Arrays (rectangle and text size changes)

Bugs:

• Array text and outline remain the same color - “color” parameter determines “textcolor” despite what you enter fro the text color.

• Swap either doesn't work or it doesn't have proper instructions

• Nodes don't work!

• Trees do not work!

• Lists don't work!

  • (Linked List Example online) – tmp node is never created, so when it's gonna be edited it displays an error

• Groups:

  • When I add the last line, the group does not move or change color, but when I delete the line it works fine.

    • groupObject group 3 orange elephant hippo

    • moveRelative group 100 100

    • changeParam group color green

  • It won't let me change the background or color of a group.
