Wonderland

Wonderland is a simple tweening library for Lua.

Hump.timer is as simple as a tweening library can get, while Flux and Tween are too abstracted away, modifying multiple properties inside a table .

Neither Hump nor Tween offer a simple way to chain tweens like Flux does with tween:after().

Wonderland is the middle ground that tries to address some of this problems.

You should still check the other libs, deciding between them depends on taste and specific use case

Usage

Animate doesn't have any dependencies, but it should be noted that it doesn't implement or include any kind of internal clock, so you either need a module to do that or your framework should be able to give you time deltas.

So to use the library, drop wonderland.lua somewhere and require it

local wonderland = require 'wonderland'

You can then create a new animation, and start adding keyframes

local animation = wonderland.new(10) -- Initial value 10
  :add{'delay', length = 10}
  :add{'linear', length = 4, value = 12}
  :add{'cubic-inout', length = 3, value = 10}

Generally you want to create a playback object from your animation

local playback = animation:newPlayback()

Then in your main loop you would call playback:update(dt) to get the new value of the animation.

Check the wiki for information on what each function does.
