Can Bottango currently animate

Expert Topic for experienced builders.

Big idea

Returns the current state of Bottango, if Bottango could begin or could potentially already be playing animations.

This is useful to check before making other calls if you’re not sure the state of the Bottango application. If Bottango is not able to animate, some of the other subsequent calls will return an error.
