If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:

I love it Frank.
However, in my opinion, the winner was one of my first Xara Xone featured artists. Marcus Geduld 1999.

Not with you - this is about "A windmill in the moonlight" and getting people up to the challenge.
Mind you, his animations are lovely, no doubt about it, simple, and entertaining... but off topic for this challenge (unless I'm being the dork and he actually did a windmill in the moonlight and I missed it!)

Re: The "Animation in Xara" challenge
ok here is a start, just a doodle to see whether I am in the mood for windmills:
I can see I shall have to resist the temptation to turn it into a lighthouse..

Re: The "Animation in Xara" challenge
Well, a non-animated doodle or not (and it's a cute non-animated doodle!), you're at the very least the first to offer a glimmer of hope that somebody will actually contribute something to this thread!
Funny thing about challenges... wheat... chaff... etc etc...

Re: The "Animation in Xara" challenge
I have to animate it in xara Fred, so either I gif it, which I used to do loads of but have sort of left behind, or I learn xara-flash tweening ... guess it's time I did...

I fear that this is a bit 'off-topic' as well.
But, your windmill gave me a bit of an idea so I just wanted to have a go at it!

Sadly I have to give you NUL POINTS because you have not followed the challenge description, but 10/10 for using ingenuity and creativity!

That's exactly what I was expecting, Beret.
If I can, I am going to have a go at the windmill.
