- 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?
