A simple multi-format, multi-platform Anim player

AnimPlayer

A multiplatform Amiga Anim player with playlist support (c) 2016-2018 Dimitris Panokostas

Features:

• Can play the following Amiga ANIM format files: ANIM5, ANIM7, ANIM8(L) ANIM16, ANIM32, YAFA.
• Can play the following non-Amiga formats: FLIC (FLC)
• Has playlist support. You can add a sequence of Anims and view them in the order you want.
• Has quick resize options for: Original, Double size. Also able to freely resize manually of course.
• Drag and drop support, adds files to playlist.
• Loop support.
• Runs on multiple platforms: AmigaOS3, AmigaOS4, AROS (x86), MorphOS, Linux (ARM, x86, PPC), MacOS, Win32. Note: Although you can run it on AmigaOS3, a real Classic will be too slow for it. You will need something faster than 060 and RTG to make use of it in real life (so either under emulation or a fancy FPGA accelerator). However, since there are already various Anim players for the Classic which perform quite well, I don't see this as a big problem.

Future:

• Add support for audio in YAFA Anims (samples or MODs), maybe. :)
• Have a feature request? Please let me know!

Requirements:

• The application was designed to be portable, no installation is necessary.
• On Amiga-like OS, it requires MUI (or Zune).
