I tried it and it's very cool. Simple, but nice. It would be great to improve both this and Marionetta [1], so that we can create those dancing moves using this second package and have it generate instructions in your DSL (I fear the moves won't look so natural if we program all of them by hand). I've been developing a Graphic Adventure IDE that, hopefully, I'll release very soon, and I'd love to be able to generate basic character animations (automagically) using simple commands like "walk to object X". This would allow potential users to see the game in just a few hours of work, and have the animators draw the actual characters later (animation is a slow, expensive process, and you want to make sure that you change the animations as little as possible). Keep it on! :) Cheers, Ivan. https://github.com/paolino/marionetta On 3 June 2012 16:36, C K Kashyap wrote:

Hi All,

I've written a Haskell program that allows you to describe "dance movements" and it spits out javascript that does animation on an HTML 5 canvas (that's the platform independent bit).

Please do check it out and let me know what you think - all you'd need is Haskell platform. It's really preliminary at this point - The only animation that I've built using it is "walk" - this makes a matchstick man walk (you have to stretch your imagination a bit).
