Curve Editor

Game development can pose particularly difficult problems, not just design-wise, but also related to the Physics involved. It is of no wonder then that multiple auxiliary tools have been created to simulate complex or basic situations. Providing game programmers with an accurate curves creator, Curve Editor presents itself as a highly intuitive and simple to employ tool.

Two features distinguish it from similar products: it is highly intuitive and allows programmers to focus on the far more stringent and complex task of code development, and it generates files in RAW format, meaning output projects store raster values for each frame in a defined period of time.

As mentioned, the interface is highly easy to grasp, as users can literally draw their curves. This is performed by defining inflection points, which the application then automatically connects. No settings have to be tweaked and most important functions can be accessed either from the toolbar, with crisp buttons, or from the menu items.

As for the latter strong point, the application exports curves to a program-specific CBV format (Curve Binary File) that stores floating point value binary arrays of the original graph. This allows users with programming skills to integrate the stored data seamlessly with their code.

Several auxiliary tools are available to customize and fine tune one's curves, including a slide tool for both the main curve and the inflection points (effectively moving items around in both two dimensions), as well as normalization tools for tangents; pan, zoom and fit functions are also available to improve the final items.

To conclude, Curve Editor is a valuable utility for anyone involved in game development and in need of a curves generator.
