Here's my WF showing off the 3.1.0 Animation API

I've been messing around with the Animation API since it was announced, and the SDK available for download. Looks like it's a lot of fun!

There's not many samples of the Animation API code out there, so here's one I shoehorned into a watchface (under GPL);

If you're lucky enough to own a fenix5plus, you'll be able to compile it and run it on your watch.
Remember to update it to the latest beta FW.

Here's what it looks like on the wrist, https://twitter.com/sunpazed/status/1116603810074337281

Looking forward to seeing the great things you all make

Thanks mate. Should be in the CIQ developer documentation. In a nutshell, it allows you to convert a GIF or video into a “Monkey Motion” file, that can be played back on the device. I’ll package up a tutorial…

Just a note, is it's not just having a fenix5+, but you have be running the beta fw with the 3.1.x VM. The announcement thread up top to says how to get the FW.

And I've seen this. It's WAY cool!

Looks great! BTW, what's file system and memory imprint of such animation?

Had one or two bugs in the source code. Should compile cleanly now
