Animation and Multimedia

	A picture can be attached to a pen and moved with a very precise timing specification.
	An animated picture can consist of one or more frames (a.k.a cel animation), switching at a rate specified by the program. A sequence of frames can be selected automatically based on the pen's direction.
	Pictures can be imported into LogoMation, or created on-the-fly by the program using the PICTURE statement.
	Animation can run under or above the background picture.
	Sounds can be imported into LogoMation (Mac: LogoMation can also record sounds), and played asynchronously or synchronously.

The LogoMation Language

	Simple, easy to learn and to use.
	Data structures: numbers, strings, lists and arrays, associative arrays.
	Dynamic variable scope.
	A rich library of built-in functions for list manipulation, math, strings, mouse control, and more.
