# Textmation

Textmation (**Text**-based Ani**mation**) is a tool and language for textually creating animations.

Exporting animations currently supports GIF, MP4, AVI, WebM or exporting individual frames as PNGs.

Exporting video formats requires [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org).

## Installation & Testing

*Note that Textmation currently relies on some Python scripts, and can as such not easily be installed with `cargo install --git [url]`.*

```bash

git clone https://github.com/vallentin/textmation

cd textmation

cargo install --path .

# Check help message to see command-line options

textmation --help

# Run "simple" example and output GIF

textmation examples/example_01_simple.anim

# Export format is inferred from the output filename

textmation -o output.mp4 examples/example_01_simple.anim

```
