As I wandered through the support section I have seen that there is a lot of new stuff coming
to Saola Animate version 3 and judging from current version I would certainly go for it upon release !
So, is there any possibility that you could tell us when it is supposed to be released ?
Thank you for your interest in Saola Animate.
Saola Animate version 3 is under active development. Hopefully it will be available around September this year.
Dear Toan !
In fact I have a feature request, which probably falls into the release after version 3.
I am a Science teacher in a Senior High School of Greece as a Chemistry graduate and there is a growing interest in producing animations regarding Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology etc.
Since Flash technology is being rapidly abandoned, one who would like to create animations should definitely turn to HTML5 now.
However, producing serious science or math animations in HTML5 can not still be done without coding and without using Physics or Math enabled Javascript libraries as well.
I think that there would be an enormous challenge if Saola Animate could incorporate some animation features now present in libraries like matter.js, cannon.js and jsxgraphcore.js to name a few, easing people, who can not code or do not have enough time to code for whatever reason, to the production of high quality scientific animations almost effortlessly.
To my personal opinion this would skyrocket the value of Saola Animate.
Please consider this with your development team !
Looking forward to version 3 !
Regards,
Nikos
Physics animation is already in our TODO list, maybe it’ll be available in version 3.x but not 3.0, unfortunately.
Regarding other subjects such as Maths, Chemistry…, there are not many requests on them so we can’t make any promise now.
I’m glad you’re already working to create version 3.x in September …
One thing about mathematics … I think it is not ideal for focusing only on Mathematics … You can also create a dynamic or database without codes … it is enough to create mathematics or other types. Because the database can create dynamics of the contents … I think so.
I am a retired economics lecturer from The University of Arizona in Tucson. I took my entire Economics eTextbook and eWorkbooks that were produced in Adobe Flash and turned them into HTML5/JavaScript because of SAOLA. GREAT, GREAT company.
Here is my website with the eTextbooks and eWorkbooks that are FREE to the world: http://reffonomics.com
Hope what you see in my work helps you in your creations in your work.
Thank you for your interest in Saola Animate 3, which is still in the testing and bug fixing phase.
