Using GIF Animations ?

[nightvenom]

Is it possible to use GIF animations in love ?



And how might one code this ?

If your idea is to directly load a GIF file and play it I don't think it's possible. Right know, LÖVE can extract the frames from a plain image and then draw the correct image at any given moment (depending on the animation speed/lenght). You can also add frames to an already existing animation with the AddFrame() method IIRC. But don't take my word on that

A typical animation image looks something like this:


Regarding code, there's a fine tutorial on animations here: http://love2d.org/index.php?page=tutorial&id=006

k, i've seen and play around with the tutorial, so i'm trying to get a friend to just send me the frames

I'll test and see if that works properly.
