Anima

Anima is an add-on for the Godot game engine that simplifies the process of creating dynamic and impactful UI animations.

Introduction

Example of animation created with anima

Working with Godot's Tween to create UI animations can be quite challenging. However, Anima, an add-on for Godot, simplifies the process by allowing you to create animations using a clear and concise syntax with just a few lines of code. With 89 built-in animations and 33 easing options, Anima provides a vast array of options to choose from. Moreover, you can easily add your animations using a syntax similar to CSS, making it a convenient tool for developers.
