Can I use animated gifs?

#1 Post by Schnauzer » Tue Jan 19, 2010 8:26 pm

I'm trying to use an animated gif for a character but it doesn't move remaining static.

How can I initialize/use an animated gif? :(

Here is the animated character, thank you!

Totally made in Paint cause I love pixel art ^_^

No. You can you the animation function instead. Check it out here. It should be able to accomplish anything you would use a gif for. Good luck!

Don't forget to look up FPS (Frames Per Second) in the Wiki or check out the demo in the latest rebuild to see it in action.

It doesn't do you any good to program it and not look at your own work... lol. =_=

In Sum of the Parts, I once screwed up the sprites for the entire beta-version and everyone was like: "Whut?"
Don't worry, we can get through it together. I didn't forget about you! I just got overwhelmed.
