	Nutcracker is a pixel effect building system developed by [http://doityourselfchristmas.com/forums/member.php?10421-smeighan Sean Meighan]] which is cross-platform with a number of sequencers, including HLS. In February 2013, Nutcracker 3.0 was released, which moved from a web-based application to a software-based version in conjunction with [[xLights]].
