Persistent Vision

This program demonstrates the concept behind stop motion animation - that images, when sequenced at an appropriate rate, can give the appearance of motion.

The program begins showing a 4 frame animation (one is all black) at 5 frames per second, and each frame appears to be inconsistent with the others. At about 15 frames per second, the user starts to thing they can see a pattern. At anything over 20 frames per second, the pattern is obvious.
