Hi, since I allready have an idea for the game that im going to create when AppGameKit is released i thought that I could start to create som media. But I have one question, if im going to create a animated sprite, does it have to be one file/frame or can it be something like a animated Gif image?

Allso what file formats does agk suport?

I doubt that .gif will be supported. I would use tile sheets, so you might have a grid of 16x16 frames in a tile sheet, then you create an animated sprite from that. I haven't checked the sprite commands in detail, but I need to do this for an idea I have, so I'll check and get back to you - but I'm sure you'd be able to set the tile etc for a sprite, or at least set the UV coordinates so you can make your own tile system.

So preserve your sanity and stick to tile sheets, and I'll let you know how AppGameKit will support them soon.

Just checked, and AppGameKit has all the sprite commands you would need, it lets you specify tile set properties like tile width and height, and also lets you adjust UV coordinates.
