Not to be mistaken for Brandon Enterprises's Anime.
Animation is part of the original set of Game-Maker demo games. Much as Terrain serves to demonstrate a use of landscape tiles and (until Game-Maker 3.0) Houses mostly served to demonstrate architecture, Animation shows the various technical properties and uses of background blocks: gravity, changing on contact, increasing and decreasing counters, and (of coure) timed animation.
Whereas Terrain and Houses allow Sam Stone a chance to wander, Animation features the starring talents of Pipemare's own Smiling Savage Pete Pipeman.
With the release of Game-Maker 2.0, Animation was replaced with the similar yet more focused Tutor.
Story[edit]
Animation is not a game, but a demonstration of Game-Maker's background animation.
Besides background animation, Animation illustrates the use of gravity, blocks that change on contact, and other features.
Instructions[edit]
Move the character around the scene with the arrow keys to observe ways to use background animation.
Credits[edit]
Designed by Recreational Software Designs.
Availability[edit]
Distributed with versions 1.x of Game-Maker.
In addition, full versions of Game-Maker and its gameware were illegally distributed on several shovelware CD-ROMs in the early-mid 1990s, such as Softkey Entertainment Pack (July 1996)
Archive history[edit]
Animation was introduced to the archive with the purchase of Game-Maker 1.02 in September 1992. It was then lost in the mid-late 1990s, during repeated data migration. The game was then recovered on November 27, 2010, during transfer of Matthew Groves' Mystery Mansion and Jet Driver from 3.5" micofloppy cassettes to modern PC hardware.
