Midori

Midori is a script library extension for the storyboard editor software storybrew. Its main intentions are to promote rapid development of elaborate visual effects within storybrew by offering generalized calculation methods, data types, and other features.

Features

The library includes...

• Motion
  • Includes a set of popular sinusoidal-based parametric equations to generate more elaborate movement patterns for particles.
  • The path data type. Use this to generate a set of interpolated points based off a motion trajectory. Allows conjoining of multiple paths as well. The type has a set of points that allows flexible usage for a particle. Transformation of a path is also possible to create more elaborate motions (including translation, rotation, and scale).
• Images
  • Image effects, such as generating the necessary information to create a set of particles for a dissolve effect, or stripping an image into horizontal and vertical chunks to create a wipe transition.
• Color
  • Color adjustment methods inspired by Sass.
  • Color interpolation, similar to using Lerp.
  • Create a Color4 type from an HSB, HSV, or hex code.
  • A palette data type to ease storage of colors. Load from an .ACO file supporting an RGB or HSB colorspace.
  • Coming soon: Gradients.
• File
  • File management and creation methods used to help facilitate local creation of files from storybrew easier.
• Unit Testing
  • Basic unit testing is possible by adding void parameter-less methods with Assert cases. Output seen in a log, with error tracing for failed test cases.
