Splinter is a real-time interactive, still imagery in motion driven desktop interface. It takes hotlink-able, still images and allows you to "splanimate" them so they appear to be pre-recorded and frame by frame animation, though they are, actually, just still images "opening".
It does so using 3 sets of variables for the "splicons" The three sets of variables, for both starting and ending locations, are the x and y screen position, the x and y pixel size of the image, and the rotational value of the image, from 0 to 360 and allowing for 20 full rotations. With these three sets for both starting and ending locations, still images can be made to appear as though they are in motion as you would see them in the physical world.It enables the creation of desktop wiki databases, becomes an interactive storyteller, it is a game and a game maker, an educator, a limitless icon dock, and allows for the creation of "Spli-Sites", which are web page front ends, artistically blended into your desktop environment. Since all imagery within Splinter, is actually still png files, occurring in real-time, any and all "splanimation" is always and forever, editable, by anyone, at any time.
