ByAnchors

DEPRECATED!

The ByAnchors renderer calculates and renders the movement of notes based on a set of defined anchor points. This approach provides a more dynamic and visually appealing representation of notes, especially in complex sequences.

Explanation of What the Renderer Does:

  • Movement Calculation: The renderer calculates the movement of each note based on a series of anchor points. These anchors define the path that the note will follow during its animation.
  • Dynamic Rendering: It renders notes dynamically, taking into account various parameters like easing, rotation, scale, and fade effects, to create a smooth and engaging animation sequence.
  • Support for Different Note Types: The renderer can handle different types of notes, including sliders and regular hit notes, adapting their movement and appearance accordingly.
  • Rotation and Scaling: Notes can be rotated to face receptors and scaled as they move along the path, enhancing the visual impact.
  • Easing and Timing: The renderer applies easing functions to the movement, scaling, and rotation of notes, allowing for more natural and varied animations.

Parameters Explained:

  • instance: DrawInstance - The instance of the drawing, containing information like the playfield, time, easing, and other settings.
  • duration: double - The duration over which the notes will be rendered.
  • type: PathType (default: PathType.line) - The type of path the notes will follow, which can be a straight line, bezier curve, etc.

What Can Be Changed:

  • Path Type: The path type (line, bezier, etc.) determines how the notes will move between the anchor points.
  • Easing Functions: Different easing functions can be applied to change the acceleration and deceleration of notes.
  • Duration and Timing: Adjusting the duration and timing parameters will affect how long the notes are visible and how they sync with the music.
  • Rotation and Scale Settings: These can be tweaked to change how notes rotate to face receptors and how their scale changes over time.
  • Fade In/Out Timings: The fade-in and fade-out timings can be modified to alter the appearance and disappearance of notes.
