RainyNite studio

RainyNite is a free/libre software vector animation tool, currently in early development.

It is not really usable by end users at the moment, but developers are highly welcome.

Usage examples

• couple of animations in an ld38 entry (namely sunrise around 10s of intro and animated logo here)
• see https://notabug.org/caryoscelus/rainynite-examples for sample files

Build instructions

These instructions assume unix-like environment.

The build process itself is usual CMake procedure, but there are quite a few dependencies and code is split across repositories.

Modules:

• vector morphing lib
• core library
• command line tool (not really worth using atm)
• gui editor

Dependencies

Core:

• lib2geom (yes, you need my fork at the moment; also you need to build & install dynamic library)
• boost
• fmt
• catch (bundled in repository)
• rapidjson (bundled as git module)
• yaml-cpp (bundled as git module)

Editor:

• qt
• Qt-Color-Widgets (bundled as git module)

Runtime renderer dependency:

• Inkscape - used to render SVG output of RainyNite "renderer"; can be replaced with other command line SVG renderer

Build process

The easy way is to clone united repository and run update_and_build.sh script.

However, if you're interested in development, you may find it more convenient to setup build directories yourself. Build process is mostly usual CMake routine, except for a few caveats. You can look them up at [BUILDING.md] or in build script.
