Two-Dimensional Animation in Visual Basic Part Two Note: I made a couple of corrections on yesterday's animation assignment. When you place the timer on your form, you need to change the interval property to some number other than the default zero (otherwise it won't do anything!). Try setting it to 150 and then adjust the speed as you wish. The interval time is based in milliseconds that go from zero to 64,767 with 1,000 milliseconds equalling one second. Keep in mind that in previous animations you have created in class, you have used an application to perform the animation. For example, when you were using PowerPoint, Director, Shockwave---all of these programs automate the animation process for you. Here, you are creating the animation from scratch using arrays. Two Day Project Use what you have learned about animation in Visual Basic to make a short animated feature. You must include at least three forms and at least one drop down menu. You must also include command buttons that allow the user to interact with your program.
