flux VS easings.net

Concratz on the game, Flux also has tweening it might do what you descibed above: https://github.com/rxi/flux

Perhaps a bit off topic but certainly a useful library when trying to do some specific movement of objects: https://github.com/rxi/flux/

Flux for Lua (visualization)

flux is a tweening library for Lua. It's great, but sometimes it's hard to guess what the curves will look like.

I find the libraries by rxi (like flux) are pretty great. How have you discovered yours? Searching GitHub, using love2d-awesome, love2d forums?

Easings: When working with animations and transitions, Easings provides a comprehensive cheat sheet for various easing functions, allowing developers to visualize and choose the perfect timing curve for their projects.

Something like this: https://easings.net/#easeOutExpo

Very timely and helpful, thank you!

A suggestion: the pulse animation would look much better with ease-in / ease-out animation curves instead of the harsh linear curve it's currently using. EaseInOutSine from this cheat sheet would do fine: https://easings.net/

One I like to reference is this easing functions cheatsheet. Its aimed at programming animations, but a lot of the principles apply to your needs.

I feel like BB should definitely have easings (specifically the ones on easings.net) for keyframes. Any thoughts?

> I wasn’t sure what type of math function would work for this

Usually people use "easing functions", which are convenient since they typically have a range and image both in [0.0 .. 1.0] [1] (although sometimes the range is slightly above 1 or below 0 to produce some "effect"). CSS has a cubic-bezier function [2] that can be used to replicate pretty closely all sorts of easing functions.

Functions that look like an "S" when plotted are called "sigmoids", a popular one used in graphics applications is called "Smoothstep" [3].
