Dynamic Animation Library

Welcome to DALi

This guide will take you through what you need to know to produce efficient, dynamic and visually rich applications in DALi easily.

What is DALi

DALi is a dynamic animation library, a 2D and 3D scene graph that abstracts the rendering of the nodes through a simple API.

It can be used to create 2D and 3D applications, providing support for resource loading, touch events, key events, animating the nodes and a whole array of functionality to make it easy for the user to produce effects, applications and user interfaces.

DALi is developed with user input responsiveness, smooth updates with good FPS and low memory requirements in mind.

A Toolkit is provided to make using DALi even easier along with a framework that facilitates the creating of your own controls.

DALi is Open Source, constantly maintained and extended.

DALi provides 2 apis, the native C++ and NUI which is based on C#.
