[Solved] How to animate items being appended to a list?

[Deimos96]

Hi I'm trying to figure out how to show objects being appended one by one to a list. Is there a simple way to do this?

For e.g I have five apples which is being appended one by one to some list. But instead of showing a screen of five apples immediately, I want one apple at a time to pop up on the screen as it is being appended. Maybe this very simple below will help visualize what I'm trying to achieve.

(some screen) #X is apple
X
(..0.5 seconds)
XX
(..0.5 seconds)
XXX
(..0.5 seconds)
XXXX
(..0.5 seconds)
XXXXX
(stop)

Thanks beforehand.

Do you mean to show images one by one with some delay based on the content of a list? You can do something like this:

Code: Select all

screen show_images_by_one(image_list):
    default total = 1
    hbox:
        for i in range(0,total):
            add image_list[i]
        timer 0.5 repeat True action If(total < len(image_list), SetScreenVariable('total', total + 1))

Code: Select all

label start:
    show screen show_images_by_one(['apple.png', 'apple.png', 'apple.png', 'apple.png', 'apple.png'])

Sorry for the late reply. But this works so far. Thank you.
