We need a very basic animation developed entirely in .NET (C#). Basically the animation will consist of 5 frames which are loaded from PNG files. Note the PNG files have an alpha transparency layer so the animation will have to appear on top of the desktop or any applications underneath it. We need several support functions as well to manipulate the animation (start it, stop it, move it, etc.). Right now we envision that the PNG files are loaded externally, however if it will be easier to convert them to some intermediate format and compile them in with the application then this is no problem at all and that approach should be taken.
The functions we need include:
i. Constructor to construct the animation which will take the following parameters: i. array of PNG files or resource of the animation files, ii. initial location of the animation iii. If the animation should be "always on top" or can layer underneath, iv. Frame rate - how quickly the frames should switch v. static frame (when animation plays the frames should loop, when animation stops it should stop on one particular static frame v. any other relevant things vi. location of the animation
ii. Methods to start/stop the animation
iii. Methods to move the animation to somewhere else on the screen - should take parameters of X/Y coords + # of seconds the animation should take to get there
iv. Methods to get screen dimensions
We will need a demo application which will demonstrate all the methods/features above.
Note the methods will need to be documented outside the actual source code in a seperate word format. The documentation includes i) Class/Methods/properties along with a simple description of what each does
