Letter Animations using Javascript Library

This javascript library can be used to animate words and letters. This will be very useful to create websites for games, parties, events etc. Tympanus created a set of very nice animations using Anime.js. The animation slideshow used in the demo created by Tympanus includes very nice effects to play with.

The main idea of the implementation includes creating an SVG for each word. Then place circle, square or triangle shapes relative to SVG. With a couple of effects, the letter animation will be formed with stunning effects using simple shapes. To showcase the effects, there is a small slideshow with different kind of letters and animations. Letter Animations using Javascript Library is also available for download.
