Suppose that you want to keep the figures that compose this animation in a
variable. You can create a list of these figures, let’s call it WLIST, by using:

11 „°

@)TYPE@ @ LIST ³ ~~wlist~ K

Press J to recover your list of variables. The variable

@WLIST should now be

listed in your soft-menu keys. To re-animate this list of variables you could use
the following program:
«

Start program

WLIST

Place list WLIST in stack

OBJ

Decompose list, stack level 1 = 11

ANIMATE Start

animation

»

End program

Save this program in a variable called RANIM (Re-ANIMate). To run it, press

@RANIM.

The following program will animate the graphics in WLIST forward and
backwards:

« Start

program

WLIST DUP

Place list WLIST in stack, make extra copy

REVLIST +

Reverse order, concatenate 2 lists

OBJ

Decompose list in elements, level 1 = 22

ANIMATE Start

animation

»

End program

Save this program in a variable called RANI2 (Re-ANImate version 2). To run
it, press

@RANI2. The animation now simulates a ripple in the surface of

otherwise quiescent water that gets reflected from the walls of a circular tank
back towards the center. Press $ to stop the animation.
