This project is a programmatic animation engine designed to create mathematical visualizations through executable scripts. It functions as a mathematical visualization tool that renders parametric curves, equations, and coordinate systems to translate abstract concepts into high-resolution video.
The system features an interactive scene renderer that allows for the execution of code snippets and real-time manipulation of scene states before final rendering. It includes an automated animation workflow that manages rendering checkpoints, scene playback, and video sequencing directly from a text editor.
The engine covers a broad capability surface including coordinate-based vector rendering, programmatic scene definition, and dynamic object relationship linking. It provides tools for animation sequence rendering and video organization to produce final high-resolution output.
The project uses a Python-based API to map mathematical expressions to renderable objects.
