Motion
Motion is a physics-based animation engine for building gesturally-driven user interfaces and interactions on Apple platforms. It functions as a Swift frame-by-frame animation utility that drives declarative state changes and simulates physical behaviors.
The library executes continuous frame updates by invoking custom value blocks directly from display link timing loops, handling standard numeric and vector types. It supports mid-flight animation interruption, allowing active animations to be stopped, altered, or redirected instantly by mutating live parameters. Additionally, the engine simulates elastic rubberbanding effects with non-linear resistance and boundary stretching, and generates standard keyframe animation objects automatically from mathematical physics models for layer integration.
The framework suppresses default implicit rendering transactions during programmatic updates to maintain synchronization with custom animation engines, preventing pairing errors during transaction calls. It integrates directly with declarative user interface components to drive state transitions without manual frame calculations.
