Pop-up windows would be useful to tell users that they need to delete the “ // Do something here!” first, and that they can then copy and paste the codes to that space.

This would be useful as a tool for those users with zero coding experience to be able to follow the guidance step by step and thus better understand how to deal with the codes. Since its JavaScript edit table is the highlight, and Wick Editor is rolling out to more users, it would be helpful if creators add pop-up instruction windows to the design table. Wick creators are continually updating and fixing reported bugs to create a better design environment. However, these templates are not available to be applied with users’ own materials in the editor. Non-actionable template: The developers created various templates for users to learn how to create the effects. Further, “Examples” button located in the main menu points to the “Tutorials” page, which would mislead the users. They introduce basic ideas to the users but may not sufficient for everyone. Limited tutorials: Only two tutorial videos are currently available on the website. (Note: Mac users are recommended to use Firefox and Chrome instead of Safari to open the web.) Both the creation interface and the “About” page is not responsive to the mobile views. Mobile inaccessibility: Although Wick Editor is powerful on the desktop, but it is not optimized for mobile devices. Hot-Keys: Almost all most commonly used short-cut keys work with the web Multi-export preferences: Completed or unfinished works can be exported in multiple ways, including HTML, ZIP, GIF and Video. It is particularly suited for users who are interested in playing with programming but do not have in-depth coding knowledge. The developers of Wick Editor provide a creative environment combining its animation design and programming environment. 14 basic icons, 1 tab bar and 5 menu items with average 5 options create effective web navigation. To facilitate ease of use, text labels appear when users put their cursor on the icons. They are well-designed and standardized, thus allowing their functions to be recognized at a glance. The size of the icons is large enough to be easily clicked. With this user-friendly and low-cost model, digital arts can create more possibilities for people, especially those tech rookies, who wish to integrate the art and coding.

Unlike traditional animation software which only provides download versions, Wick Editor has no download requirement and is available for all users for free. Inspired by Adobe Flash, the software was created and is led by CMU alumni, Zach Rispoli and Luca Damasco. Wick Editor is a free, online and open-sourced creation suite for people to make digital frame-by-frame animations, games and art.
