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.
