What Koda Animates

Kodanima 2D is a 2D drawing and animation editor developed in C++ for Microsoft Windows. Its goal is to provide a native interface for drawing, organizing frames, and working with an animation timeline.

Built with native Windows APIs, it is designed for frame-by-frame 2D animation, drawing, and timeline editing. It uses the CPU, RAM, and compatible graphics APIs such as DirectX for rendering. Developed with MinGW-w64 and Geany, it targets Windows XP and newer versions, depending on compatibility.

Technologies — Kodanima 2D

Name	Purpose
C++	primary programming language.
Win32 API	window creation, controls, events, and Windows integration.
GDI	interface drawing and compatible graphics operations.
DirectX	graphics APIs used in the parts of the program that implement graphics acceleration. Availability depends on the operating system, hardware, and drivers.
Wintab	integration with compatible graphics tablets, when available.
Intel and AMD instructions	the program can detect and take advantage of compatible instruction sets, such as MMX, SSE, and AVX, when implemented and supported by the processor and system.
MinGW-w64 / GCC (G++)	compilation.
Geany	development environment used for the project.

Operating systems

The project targets Microsoft Windows. Compatibility with Windows XP and later versions depends on the APIs used, linked libraries, and build configuration. Newer DirectX, media, or CPU instruction features may require specific Windows versions, compatible hardware, or drivers.

Computer resource usage

Kodanima uses the CPU for processing and calculations, RAM for temporary data, and available graphics resources to draw the interface and process visual content. In implemented components, DirectX may enable GPU acceleration. Performance depends on the hardware, drivers, Windows version, and features actually enabled.

CPU

RAM

GPU (DirectX)

Detecting processor capabilities does not mean that every Intel or AMD instruction is used for every task. The program only executes instructions supported by the processor and runtime environment.
