Karma: animation with jQuery - help
hi guys!
how are you?, I'm new in the mailing list,
well, I'm working on developing Karma: a framework/libraries for
creating Sugar activities using javascript and html5 [http://
wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Karma] , so Bryan Berry (my mentor) and me are
thinking in using jQuery as the core.
One of our objectives is to create *simple* animations using <canvas>
for including into activities. We say *simple* because these
animations must run on XO-laptops[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
OLPC_XO-1] (400mhz machine with a minimal GPU).
I have been looking into Effects -> animate [http://docs.jquery.com/
Effects/animate], but it seems pretty basic [http://
karmaproject.wordpress.com/2009/05/07/animation-with-jquery/] although
I must admit I'm new to jQuery.
So, currently thinking in:
1. to develop a animation tool from scratch
2. to extend jQuery (the animation tool)
3. to use processingjs
4. to use jQuery + a js animation library
about #4. I'm playing with GX. [http://www.riccardodegni.net/blog/gx-
full-featured-javascript-animations-framework]
could you give us your opinion?
what do you recommend us?
thanks in advance
