Nice work! Now buckle up and get ready for all the people you offend by animating. Reddit has a boner for yelling at people who animate. Still great work though, keep it up!

It's just that... what is the point? It's not like it's an original way of animating things. I get that it's more work than not animating, and for that, congrats. But sometimes it's not worth spending time on something that doesn't bring anything.
The static plot would give as much information, but we wouldn't have to wait for the end and pause to actually read the whole plot.
If you want to represent something in 4 of 5 dimensions, I get that animation can be useful, but for 2 dimensions, it's always a waste of time for the reader.
But people are free to do it. Just like we are free to inform these people that it adds nothing.

That’s not your call, that’s OPs call. If OP thinks it’s fun and looks cool and they enjoy it, then it brings something.

Agreed. But that’s not my point.

Never said you aren’t free. I just find it amusing how everyone gets their feathers ruffled and feels the need to tell EVERY OP about it EVERY time. I’m free to make that comment. Now let’s watch the thread get flooded with comments just like yours.

Yeah, that's not the way this works.
