Advance
Advance is a physics-based animation library and motion simulation toolkit for iOS, tvOS, and macOS. It provides a framework for driving value transitions using non-linear physics functions and a spring physics engine to produce natural, bouncy movements.
The library distinguishes itself through a vector-based animation framework that allows custom data types to be animated by converting them into vector representations. It also implements velocity-preserving state handoffs to maintain a consistent rate of change when transitioning between different animation modes.
The toolkit covers both timed value animations using pacing functions and simulation-based value driving. It manages these transitions through a time-step integration loop and coordinates velocity to prevent abrupt jumps during motion.
