CCAni
This is made up of two parts: the program and the API.
Program:
The program is designed to be as user friendly as possible, and once you get to know it, it is!
how it works:
once this is done, press "new" to create the animation and "load" to load the animation.
Now you are greeted with a nice clean black box with a blinking '¬' at the top (this is your cursor, because it is obvious but doesn't block the character behind it)
move your cursor around using the arrow keys and change the selected letter by typing normally (alt+code still works too), It's as simple as that to create your art ;)/>/>, when you input your cursor is moved along one, when you backspace your cursor is moved back one AFTER deleting the character your cursor is on.
To save it do:
alt+s
To create a new blank frame do:
alt+n
To create a new frame copying the selected one do:
alt+c
To delete the selected frame do:
alt+d
To move between frames do:
alt+left/right arrow
That's all there is to is :D/>/>
Exporting
Now for the exportation of your animations:
In your CCAni.jar dir there should be a folder called 'CCAni', open this up and your animation project should be there as a folder.
In your computer make a simple program and just put ccani.setUp()
Go to your computer folder and there should be a folder called 'CCAni' in that as well now, if not create one, then paste or drop your project folder in to that folder.
Now your ready to use that animation in your programs for that computer
API
The API has one real function:
ccani.runAnimation(animation-name, pause-between-frames, amount-of-times-looped)
So an example of using this would be:
Thats it!

Hope you like it, It was made for stand along animations, games and things like OS starting up animations in mind!

Spoiler
When you start the program you will be greeted by a screen with a text box and two buttons "new" and "load", first step is to enter the name of the animation you wish to load up/create in the text box.once this is done, press "new" to create the animation and "load" to load the animation.

Unfortunately, this has to be done manually and computers cannot share their animation folders, so you have to put the animation folder in either every computer or your selected computer.In your CCAni.jar dir there should be a folder called 'CCAni', open this up and your animation project should be there as a folder.
In your computer make a simple program and just put ccani.setUp()
Go to your computer folder and there should be a folder called 'CCAni' in that as well now, if not create one, then paste or drop your project folder in to that folder.

API
The API has one real function:
ccani.runAnimation(animation-name, pause-between-frames, amount-of-times-looped)
So an example of using this would be:
ccani.runAnimation("test", 0.5, 1)
Thats it!
