A free and fun little animation program, Pivot Stickfigure Animator is exactly that -- an graphical animation utility which creates animated GIF files of stick figures doing whatever you want them to do.

The basic character in this program is a stick figure-type man. You can make it do various things by moving around the red point. Clicking 'Next Frame' adds another frame; when changing the position of the stickman, you will notice a gray shadow depicting him in the previous frame.

In addition to the typical VCR-style controls (play, stop), this application also includes shortcuts to character editing which can be saved and loaded.

This game/image animator is fun and allows you to create funny scenarios starring a stick man. You can also find more en on the Pivot Stickfigure Animator web site.

Pivot Stickfigure Animator is software which can create animated GIFs.

Development and history[edit]

Peter Bone[edit]

Peter Bone began programming when he was around 15 years old in IBM BASIC. Bone's father taught some basics and then the rest. He made some very simple games but learnt all of the basics of programming. Later, Bone did an engineering degree. Bone had the idea around 2001. Bone's step brother was attempting to create stickman animations using MS Paint. Bone would draw a stickman, save the file and then draw it again slightly moved and repeat. Bone would then use some video editing software to combine the frames into a movie. Apart from taking a very long time, one of the problems was keeping the proportions of the stickman constant. Peter Bone thought there must be an easier way but he couldn’t find anything online apart from very complex and expensive animation software such as Flash. A couple of months later the first version of Pivot was born. The name was created when he first saved the project after creating one line pivoting on another line and the name stuck. Bone then began uses Delphi to create his own programs named Pivot Animator.

First release[edit]

The first version of Pivot Animator had several software bugs. Stick figures were limited to one type of stick figure, the default stick figure. Animations could be saved in the PIV (Pivot Project File) or exported as Animated .GIFs (Graphics Interchangeable Format). Users were given few options of image optimization, compression or resizing when saving their animation.^{[citation needed]} This was one of the first animation programs available on the computer.

Pivot 2.2[edit]

Pivot Stick Figure Fight

The second major release of the Pivot Stickfigure Animator. This version implemented the 'Stick Figure Builder', which allowed users to create their own stick figure designs saved in the STK format. This allowed a much wider scope of animation choice for Pivot users. It also fixed a few minor bugs, added the buttons to the main interface to bring a stick figure in front or behind other figures, and could automatically check to make sure the user didn't lose any unsaved projects.

Pivot 3.1 Beta[edit]

This release was sent intentionally to the Pivot Animation groups for testing but the Beta was leaked from various unofficial sources to the general public. There was an improved interface, with new icons, a better default stickman with bolder arms and legs and a reorganization of the features. New features included the ability to import any image as a to be moved around in the animation like a stick figure. Another added feature was the ability to have multiple backgrounds in an animation. When a user saves a .piv file, the frame rate is saved with it.
