public interface Animated

A piece that is animated. The piece receives notification once per frame in the animation timeline, and can move itself, create an event to be re-rerendered, or perform any other time-based activity.

Method Summary

void	onFrame(Context ctx, Cell cell, int frame) Animation callback, executed once each frame for each piece animated on the board.
