Abstract: An animation system of multiple electronic devices having displays includes that each device receives the display number for displaying an animation. Each device also receives its relative position with respect to the other devices. On each device, the user selects an animation for display and determines a start time for displaying the animation. Upon a timer of device reaching the start time, the device displays a portion of the selected animation. The displayed portion is based on the display number and the relative position of the device. The displayed portion changes while the animation moves across the devices. An advantage of the animation system includes that the devices are not required to communicate with each other while receiving the display number and relative position, while selecting the animation, while determining the start time, and while displaying portions of the animation.
