Articulated animations and effects

The articulated animations and effects are functions that can be used to perform complex animations and effects. They combine more primitive animations and effects (Tickers) to create a more complex animation or effect. For example, the Shake function is an articulated animation that uses more MoveTicker to create a shake effect.

Shake

The shakeEffect function is an articulated animation that shakes the canvas element. The function uses more MoveTicker to create the shake effect.

This function have the following parameters:

• alias: the alias of the canvas element
• props: the properties of the shake effect. The properties are:
  • speed (Optional): is a number that represents the speed of the shake effect.
  • shocksNumber (Optional): the number of shocks.
  • type (Optional): the type of the shake effect.
  • maximumShockSize (Optional): the maximum size of the shock.
  • speedProgression (Optional): in case the shake needs to increase/decrease in speed over time, this property can be used. You can read more about it here.
  • startOnlyIfHaveTexture (Optional): is a boolean that represents if the animation should start only if the canvas component have a texture not empty. If true and the canvas component not have a texture, the animation will not edit the x and y properties, but will be executed. You can read more about it here.
• priority (Optional): the priority of the ticker
