This little freeware gem comes  \t\twith stick figure horses, clocks and other items you can animate and  \t\tshare with your friends (or enemies).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Once in a while it&#8217;s good to \t\tdownload  \t\tsomething that is completely worthless, harmless, but a whole lot of  \t\tfun for everyone. You don&#8217;t have to be a computer wizard, an artist, an  \t\tanimator, or even know how to use a graphics editor. Without even  \t\treading the help files or instructions, you&#8217;ll be able to figure this  \t\tprogram out. And if you can&#8217;t, even this newsletter isn&#8217;t going to help  \t\tyou!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the Softpedia review has to say:<\/p>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\"><em>Pivot Stickfigure Animator is a unique software, that allows you to create stick figure animations easily and without any artistic skills.\u00a0You can move the sections of the sick figure and easily create a chain of animation frames that can be previewed as you go. You can use more than one stick-figure in the animation, and even create your own stick figures using an easy to use visual editor that lets you assemble objects out of lines and circles.\u00a0In addition, you can optionally set animation size, speed and more. The result can be saved as animated GIF file. Fun and easy to use, surprisingly well featured.<\/em><\/div>\n<div><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/div>\n<div>We&#8217;d love to send you off to the author&#8217;s (Peter Bone) page to read more and download this great program &#8211; but like so many freeware author&#8217;s who gave away great stuff &#8211; it appears he&#8217;s disappeared from the web.
