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.
