An animation cycle is done entirely in SCI code (with the aid of some kernel calls). It involves two other objects; the mover and the cycler. The mover is responsible for controlling the motion of an actor towards a specific point, while the cycler changes the image of the actor, making him appear to walk, for instance. | An animation cycle is done entirely in SCI code (with the aid of some kernel calls).

The | The behavior of a view is controlled by its signal property. This property contains a bitfield which describes a lot of animation-related stuff. The bits can be roughly divided into two groups; the script and interpreter bits (I had called them Option and State bits at first, but that is not entirely accurate). The first group allows the script to influence the drawing pro- cess somewhat, the other are used internally by the interpreter. The two groups overlap a bit, though. | ||
