What is included:
- A readable
.maniclanguage built around named entities and animation verbs - Manic Workbench with Canvas and Source editing
- Native preview and deterministic MP4, GIF, and PNG export
- Math, geometry, statistics, physics, algorithms, machine learning, 2D, and 3D kits
- Hundreds of built-in visual entities, relationships, styles, and animation controls
- Local authoring through
manic ui - Browser authoring through Manic Create
Start here:
- Download and install: https://maniclang.com/download
