Abacus API Notes

abacus-api-notes.js

var mainLoop = Abacus.timer({
  callback: function( data ) {
    data.delta // time since the last tick
    data.ticks // zero indexed number of ticks
  }
});

// Start the timer with an optional kill time in miliseconds
// if no miliseconds are passed in, it wil run FOR EV AR, until you pause it
mainLoop.start( 10000 )

// Stop the timer
mainLoop.pause()

///////////////////////////////
var animation = Abacus.animation({
  timer: mainLoop,
  tween: function (){} || 'tweenName', // name of the tween to use, default is 'numeric', 'null runs no tween'
})

animation.addFrame({
  index: 3,
  value: '' || num || [] || [[], [], []] || {}, {{},{}},
  tween: function (){} || 'tweenName', // name of the tween to use, default is 'numeric', 'null runs no tween'
  beforeTween: function(){
    // function to run before tween
    this.tween // name of tween
    this.value // the keyframe value
  },
  afterTween: function(){
    // function to run after tween
    this.tween // name of tween
    this.value // the keyframe value
  }
});

animation.removeFrame( index )
animation.start()
animation.stop()

What is callback for? Is it where the tween function goes? Should it the option be called 'tweener' in that case?

Where does layer put the updated values?

var obj = {
    position: [0,0,0]
  },
  layer = Abacus.layer({
  timer: mainLoop,
  target: obj,
  name: 'position'
})

?

Updated, this should be clearer now
