Timeline feature #647
Description
The Tween class is doing a lot. Maybe it is starting to grow out of scope for what a Tween is. For example, we can chain, yoyo, repeat tweens, etc. Maybe it would be better to have a cleaner separation of concerns and introduce a new Timeline class (maybe convert Group with Timeline) that would be generally more robust for this.
What could this Timeline API looks like? How would Tween play with Timeline? Perhaps Tweens are added to Timelines.
This comment has some ideas: #560 (comment)
Food for thought:
const track1 = new Sequence([
new Empty(300),
new Tween(mesh.rotation).to(..., 1000),
new Tween(mesh.position).delay(500).to(..., 1000),
])
const track2 = new Tween(otherThing).to(2000)
const timeline = new Timeline([ // parallel
// tracks for the timeline
track1,
track2
])
const anim = new Animation([timeline]).start() // start/stop/repeat/etc similar to current Tween perhaps
requestAnimationFrame(function loop() {
anim.update()
requestAnimationFrame(loop)
})
const timeline2 = new Timeline([
timeline, // this timeline
new Tween(...).to(...), // will play in parallel to this tween
])
const anim2 = new Animation([timeline2])
// etc
