It reduces common animation tasks to simple, readable snippets of code, so you can animate more quickly and more easily, and create complex, but highly-efficient animations of elements like particle systems. Interestingly, part of what appears to make this possible is the developments in ActionScript 3.0, on which Brevity is based. (That’s an important note, or you’ll do what I did, and wonder why the samples aren’t working. They require Flash Player 9.) Certainly, as I’ve noted earlier, having integers for loops will make animations of iterative elements like particle systems much more efficient. Brevity compiles code using the AS3 compiler, much as Processing takes advantage of the Java compiler. [...] [...] Brevity is sort of “Flash Strikes Back”; see a nice write-up by blog.blprnt.com.
