to limited detail.
AGENT ANIMATION 1 - Welcome animation
This animation is triggered upon an appropriate program event to `greet Spike'.
Similar in style to the opening Paperclip animation in MS Word upon first
entering the MS Word Program. The animation will be pleasant yet depict an
understanding that `Spike' will be going `on duty'. `Spike' will come forward in
some greeting style fashion, bark, etc.
AGENT ANIMATION 2 - Page Aborted
This animation is triggered upon the `Spike Browser' accessing an illegal page
or action according to the parameter settings of software. A mild disapproval
feeling will be focused on here without becoming overpowering in its message.
AGENT ANIMATION 3 - Page Approval

action according to the parameter settings of software. An approval action such
as `Spike' acting happy or mildly excited without loosing his `watch-dog'
posture.
AGENT ANIMATION 4 - Log Off / Close `Spike' Application
Upon closing the application or hiding `Spike', an animation indicating `Spikes'
departure will be triggered.

boredom, waiting, subtle tricks to get attention, fall asleep, bark, etc.
In addition to the above animations the following will be also rendered.
1) A small AVI file (Windows movie) that will be utilized with the `Spike
Browser' to indicate that `Spike' is searching for a website. Animation

`Spike's' head with his eyes moving back and forth, indicating he is
searching for a site.

the `Spike' Application. This screensaver will be constructed from
elements that are created to render the above animations.
All animation will utilize various techniques to express a dog's personality as
well as depict the character of `Spike'. When necessary, some standards of prop
usage within animations will be implemented. These include the possibilities of
a doghouse, bones, Frisbees and a ball.
