You'll take an in-depth look at double, point, and color\nanimations. You'll also learn the difference between linear, spline, and\ndiscrete keyframes, and how they affect your objects as they move.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nBut\nit doesn't stop there. You'll go well beyond those simple\ntimeline-based animations and learn how to create purely code-based\nanimations. You'll use vectors to make objects move and bounce off\nboundaries and each other. You'll explore particle systems, kinematics,\nand collisions. You'll also learn how to use trigonometry to animate\nobjects and simulate 3D motion in a 2D environment. The essential\ntrigonometry required to create complex motion is simplified and\nexplained through a series of fascinating and fun examples that can be\nincorporated into your own applications, games, and experiments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\nWhether\nyou're already familiar with Silverlight and you want to learn how to\nopen it up, a Flash developer interested in expanding your skill set, or\na web developer looking to take the next step into rich interactive\napplication development, this book will bring you up to speed on\nSilverlight 2 and show you what it can do. From techniques for creating\nframe-based animations to learning how to simulate 3D in a 2D\nenvironment, there is something here to satisfy anyone's appetite for\nanimation and interactivity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Apress\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2008-11-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781430215691\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4302-1570-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229cm x191cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 448\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Apress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47390246895756,"sku":"9781430215691","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781430215691.jpg?v=1775762504","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781430215691","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
