Unique Approach to Animation

Unlike traditional animation libraries that rely on milliseconds for timing, Emotive Engine uses musical time as the foundational unit for animations. This innovation allows animations to stay synchronized with music beats regardless of tempo changes.

For example, specifying a 'bounce' animation is as simple as:

mascot.express('bounce'); // Adjusts automatically to any tempo

Performance & Compatibility
