# `anip`

## Goal of the Project

My goal is to produce a creative environment that ...

 - ... combines *image/vector graphics editing*, *animating* and *non-linear video processing*
 - ... provides naturalistic, never awkward or frustrating approaches to support drawing and editing
 - ... is friendly and lovable to all kinds of users, e.g. painters, technicians and filmmakers
 - ... is friendlier to (and more stable on) lower-end devices in comparsion with "professional" products e.g. DaVinci Studio
 - ... nonetheless permits very elaborate work to be crafted with e.g. node-based expression & programming, as well as Lua scripting
 - ... uses OpenGL throughout to provide agreeable performance
 - ... has nice cross-platform support
 - ... is open source so that anyone finding problems or dissatisfication can tweak the software itself

## Current Progress

I have implemented, to date, the following components:

 - A simple `glad`- and `glfw`-based OpenGL wrapper
 - Skeleton of the media/resource system
 - A (mildly) usable GUI library [*In Progress*] with
	- A variety of controls
	- Theme/i18n support
	- Bindable properties
	- ...
 - GUI for a curve editor
 - The drawing environment [*In Progress*]

In addition, I collected several small tools that I've built using the `anip` library in the `anip/tools` directory. They include:

 - `shaderrun` runs OpenGL shaders in a way like "shadertoy" but simpler
 - `netvis` visualizes graphs with bidirectional weighted edges as a physical 2D spring system
 - `sfxc` is a GUI (dashboard) for controlling sound effects e.g. in a stage performance [*In Progress*]

## How to Build

Please don't. It's not ready for that.

> Though I doubt anyone would ever have the slightest desire to build this at this severely premature stage when everything is under very active development, I have included the CMake scripts necessary to compile the source code. Theoretically, I think MSVC, mingw, gcc and clang should all work with the source; I used to work on Windows with Visual Studio, but now I've switched to MacOS. Note that some of the libraries that `anip` uses -- `freetype`, `glm`, `glfw` and `rtaudio` -- have *not* been included in this repository, so you might like to study the `CMakeList`s for a while in order to supply the library files in appropriate places. (I shall add automatic fetching of the dependencies to the CMakeLists.txt in the future.)

## How to Contribute

Please don't.

I work on my own and you do not need to contribute to this project at its present stage.
