Camera

a light-weight bukkit library for camera movement animation

ATTENTION: This project is already outdated. If you want a camera movement library, you can try my visual-api, which has more parameters like Curve to make the camera movement more customizable.

Known Issues

1. The transition is not smooth, so maybe you should try to find a way to set a perfect looking center and use looking reverse well to make the animation smoothly
2. Path axis feature hasn't been implemented yet because I don't know how to calculate ellipse
