AnimatorPC Port

A cartoon maker, not a game. Draw up to twenty 16 by 16 picture frames on an edit grid, with clear, invert, mirror, rotate and shift tools and copying between frames. Play them back with a set speed and pause so the figure runs across the screen, choose its colour, and give each frame a sound. Demos show what it can do.

Controls: The right button switches grid and menu; the stick moves the cursor and the left button draws.
