Evaluation

This AV is frustrating to review. It almost works... but it can't quite get the fundamental idea across. More effort put into the explanation might get the job done, but the current implementation is not comprehensible. But it could be useful for illustrating an example during lecture.

HowToUse

For detailed instructions on how to install Animal and run Animal AVs, see: http://www.algoanim.info/Animal2/?q=node/290. Once you have installed the Animal .jar file and downloaded/unpacked the .zip file of Animal animations, you are now ready to run Animal. Run the .jar file to start Animal. Then go to the "Open" menu item, and browse to where you put the animal animations you got in the .zip file. Pick this AV from the list. You can then step through the animation, or use "kiosk mode" to have the steps fed to you at a constant pace.
