oh , well you need to grab bitmaps from all that surfaces in db

i don`t know the command though , but you need to write the x and y of each let`s say "frame" on that one single picture , and when they are all taken as bitmap or image , just make a sprite , and make a change number for image to make the sprite animation.


sorry for couldn`t be helpfull more , but this place is crawling with helpfull db users that will most surely help you VERY soon ..

If the image fits in the screen:

And to animate a sprite, simply increase a var called AnimFrame:

It's the programmer's life:

I prefer just to use an art package, and grab them all as individual images. Use a grid.

if you are looking for a good 2d animation program, download graphics gale (free) at humanbalance.net

(the above site is in japanese, but when you click through to graphics gale, it does give you an option for english)

there is a free version, a 30 day limit on a free full version or the full version for only 2000 yen.

i'm using graphics gale for animations in a cartoon series i'm making.

I am a Christian and I know that God loves me. That is what makes my life so great!
