I got a copy of Klik & Play!

Nice find tobydavis and thanks for sharing the photos.

Nice, you've physically obtained one of the first game-creating softwares in almost pristine condition!

Hi! Sorry to bother, could you please check the help file of KnP to see if there is any documents about build-in animations?

some undocumented behaviours sometimes cause confusion and ambiguous result when debugging.
Thanks in advance!

I found a copy of the manual: Please login to see this link.
I have given it a read, but couldn't find exactly what you are looking for, in Page 81 (specifically page 82) I found it talking about user defined animations, this is what it said:

User defined animations

Klik & Play comes with a ready prepared list of animation types for common activities such as standing, walking, running around, or disappearing. You can also define up to four custom animations for your own use. Simply choose one of the “Useranimation” type from the selector, and click on the “Change animation name” button. You’ll now be able to enter a new name for the animation, which will be saved automatically along with your game.

Basically, nothing more than it will use the suitable built-in animation sequence based on the type of movement and its current state
For example, say you have the platformer movement selected, and you try to walk, then it would run the walking animation, if you were jumping, it will run the Jumping animation. etc.

The only built-in movement I know that uses ALL the built-in animations is the platformer movement

Thanks linky, seems it's also not documented in KNP era.
Recently I helped someone to debug a weird launch issue (overlap -> launch, but with launch animation) and realized that fusion will create objects at launch position, won't actually launch it (you can see the object number grow in debugger, but not visible in frame) until launcher's launch animation finishes. Don't know if other animations also have these undocumented behaviours...

I lost the box and floppy disks years ago, but I still have the user manual (mine's the version published by Europress). I remember reading a review in PC Format or somewhere, and really wanting it for ages, and then probably a few years later, seeing it being sold in an actual shop for next to nothing, and snapping it up there and then!
It would be nice to see the review again. It was good actually, as it didn't get your hopes up too much - it basically said "the games you make will be crap, but you'l have loads of fun making them", which I think is generally true.

looks cool

That is really cool! Have you considered scanning everything and uploading it to Archive.org or some other preservation site? Some high quality scans of the box art would be super cool
