I was wondering if you could put a bunch of images together save them together and have an animation, like in Adobe Photoshop. DBC doesnt handle gif's i guess so would another type work or would nothing work?

You can create your own animation routines by loading frames and displaying them in sequence. You can also load various sprites and make paper marionettes if you wanted to do a game like Madness or a 2D version of Ragdoll Kung Fu.

Monkey King Action Theater, it probably doesn't exist, but it should.

If you make your images as .bmp or .tga you can use virtualdub, open as image sequence and it batchs all your images to avi, you can select any codec you want to use for compression thats installed on your comp such as divx, xvid if you want.

The virtual dub solution works great! Did this before.

I have deluxe paint for the PC, its great. I use it for animating on even now, its so simple and straight forward, the brush options are much better than photoshop. The only trouble is my copy seems to be bugged and only works in 320 x 260(or whatever it is)mode! Which is a pain when you want to do 1024x768 because you have to always draw in zoomed in mode, plus it saves all the files as pcx format, which means you have to convert them over in photoshop(photoshop even supports Amiga .iff files!)

GIve me more power!
