Slithy is a library for creating animated PowerPoint-style presentations using Python and OpenGL.

• Please read the caveats before diving in.
• Here you'll find download links and installation instructions.
  • I haven't been maintaining the code since graduating in spring 2003; but Neil Spring has been doing some work on it, including extensive patches for using Slithy on Mac OS X.
• Information on the included samples.
• Join the slithy-users mailing list, or view the archives.
• A summary of the differences from old Slithy, for those who used the version last year.
• You can download a sample in executable format (for Windows) if you want to see a sample of Slithy without installing it
• Documentation:

  • how to alter the OpenGL visual Slithy requests
  • how to package your presentation as a Win32 executable
  • using your own C/OpenGL code
