1. A method for creating an animation using text, the method comprising:
- receiving from a text input, a text comprising one or more entities and one or more events, the events comprising one or more of;
actions to be performed by an entity or by a part of the entity, and words to be transformed into speech;
receiving a user input inserting at least one icon within the text, said at least one icon for embedding a non-textual content into the text;
generating the animation for display on a display unit, the generating comprising executing the text and said at least one icon;
wherein executing the text comprises constructing a visual depiction of the text and performing one or more of;
generating a visual depiction of the actions performed by the entity or by the part of the entity, and converting the words into a speech using a text-to-speech module; and
wherein executing said at least one icon includes executing the non-textual content of the icon wherein said execution occurs at a point in time corresponding to a position of said at least one icon in said text, said point in time being equivalent to the time at which an order of execution reaches the at least one icon in the text.
