This libray is not meant for creating game or complex animations. It provides a quick and easy way for creating animated simple objects in uiview with few lines of codes. It is also intended to create animation scenes with least coding.

Supported platform: IOS 5.0+

###P2MSAnimationObject ####Usage P2MSAnimationObject *fishObj; ////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //the references (performP2MSSelector & P2MSObjectBehavior) made in the P2MSAnimationObject are weak and it is required to retain the object in ARC environment until all the animation is done //////////////////////////////////////////////////////

fishObj = [[P2MSAnimationObject alloc]init];

//create animation object
P2MSAnimation *animation = [P2MSAnimation animationString:@"s_move:1,7,80%,175|replace:0,0,fish.png|s_flip_rotate:1,0,-1,1,-30|s_move:0,10,5%,100|reset_transform:0.1,0" repeatCount:1 serialIndex:0];

//create fishObj view
[fishObj loadObject:nil withAnimation:animation associatedParentView:self.view withTag:5 initialParams:@"fish_3.png##fish_2.png##fish_1.png 20,170,59,52 1 1,0"];
fishObj.delegate = self;

//start animation
[fishObj startTask];

It is required to implement P2MSAbstractObject or extends P2MSDefaultObject (which has default implementations for processing animations) to create new custom objects.

####Animations

s_move         :delay_time,animation_period,toX,toY
s_move_scale   :delay_time,animation_period,toX,toY,newWidth,newHeight
s_alpha        :delay_time,animation_period,to_alpha_value
s_rotate       :delay_time,animation_period,to_degree
s_clock_rotate :delay_time,animation_period,num_of_rotation
s_flip_rotate  :delay_time,animation_period,scaleX,scaleY,to_degree
reset_transform:delay_time
replace        :delay_time,image_name,(newX),(newY),(newWidth),(newHeight)
animate        :delay_time,animation_duration,animation_repeat_count,images_sep_by_##
depend         :delay_time,obj_tag_to_wait,obj_animation_index,animation_sub_index, repeat_count

implements P2MSObjectBehavior protocol (or extends P2MSStandardBehavior to create new custom animations.

####Animation string

Serial execution (Separated by '|' character)

anim_string|anim_string|anim_string

Serial+Parallel execution (Separated by '--' character)

anim_string|anim_string--anim_string

([P2MSAnimation animationString:@"anim_string" repeatCount:repeatCount serialIndex:animationObjectIndex];)

####Animation Representation

animation with repeat count

animation_rep => [animation_string;repeat_count]

animation with repeat count and two children

animation_rep => [[child1_animation_string;child1_repeat_count];	[child2_animation_string,child2_repeat_count];parent_animation_repeat_count]

([P2MSAnimation animationFromString:@"animation_rep"];)

Please see the wiki for more information

###P2MSStoryboard ####Usage

P2MSStoryboard *storyboard;

storyboard = [[P2MSStoryboard alloc]initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
[self.view addSubview:storyboard];

//load the scene control file
NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"ExampleStory" ofType:@"txt"];
[storyboard loadScenesFromFilePath:filePath];
storyboard.delegate = self;

[storyboard startReading];

It is required to preload the images if the scenes file contains images from remote URL.

[storyboard preloadRemoteImagesForScenes];

In this case, call the "[storyboard startReading];" from allRemoteImageLoaded delegate method.

####Scenes file format

scene_1_background_image
#
scene_1_object representation 1
#
scene_1_object representation 2
##
scene_2_background_image
#
scene_2_object representation 1
#
scene_2_object representation 2
..
//it is required to have "http://" or "https://" in if the image is URL

^{background and objects are separated by \n#\n and scenes are separated by \n##\n}

Image Object Representation

object object_image initial_Rect init_alpha,init_additional_params animation_represtation

Text Object Representation

text #1 initial_Rect init_alpha animation_representation
###
string for #1
