I've been trying to create some simple animation with Jitter but all the demos and tutorials I can find are very complex. Could someone please take a minute to post a patch which draws 2 simple circles and animates them across the screen individually? Ultimately, I'm trying to create a load of these circles moving around and fading out.

I presume I need to use some combination of jit.gl.gridshape, jit.gl.multiple and jit.anim.drive but coming from a code background I find the max interface a bit convoluted and confusing. (my max patches generally rely heavily on js or java!)

if JS is your thing, you might be interested in the following example patch:

Max 6.1/examples/jitter-examples/render/anim/js.anim.drive.maxpat

double click on the js object to see the code.

Wow thanks Rob - this looks awesome and much more familiar! I'll get typing...

@Phiol - thanks a lot for posting this. It's still a bit hard to figure out what's actually happening but I'll dig through it
