Aloha. I have a program which: reads a text file of animation data. the text file is in the format of: for each frame for each element in the frame list the element type (line, circle, rectangle). list the coordinates of the element. Thus, the animation sequence is to open the text file, draw each element for each frame, clear the screen, go to the next frame. I'm curious as to what kind of animation this would be considered as. It isn't bitblt. It acts like real time animation, in that it draws each of the elements in real time. It acts like frame animation, but it doesn't store each frame in RAM. Anybody out there have a name for the beast?
