Introduction
============

Gillcup is a 2D animation library.

It is intended for both scripted and interactive animations:
in the former, the entire animation is known ahead of time, and rendered
as fast as possible; the latter is gnerally tied to a system clock, and can be
influenced by user input.

The Gillcup core is only concerned with animations; it's not tied to
any particular graphics library.
The gillcup_graphics_ package includes a more accessible demo and a tutorial.
