Animation class uses Algebra,Geometry,Trigonometry,Calculus, Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
Creating the animations above leads to knowledge of vectors.

var myRadians:Number = Math.atan2((circle_mc._y - myReferencePoint_mc._y),
(circle_mc._x - myReferencePoint_mc._x));
myDegrees_txt.text = Math.round(myRadians * 180 / Math.PI) + " degrees";
//
// draw line to show angle

_root.clear();
_root.lineStyle(1, 0x000000, 100);
_root.moveTo(myReferencePoint_mc._x, myReferencePoint_mc._y);

Control the game with the arrow keys.
Up and Down use Alt with the arrow keys.
A coin is needed for your score total to show at the end of the game.

For example, a man walking will require a body that was created with knowledge
of anatomy. Students render the bones, muscles and body movement
daily upon entering class.
