I don't think turing can handle gifs.

i got it to open a gif but it does not play through it and when i do get it to play through it it does not look like the gif i made for example lets say i made a airplane gif and its rotar rotates on turing it would probaly look like a part black screen and part of the screen flashing i need to know how to properly open my gif

From Turing Help (F10)

Turing:

% The "Pic.DrawFrames" program.
% Determine the number of frames in "globe.gif"
const fileName := "%oot/Support/Help/Examples/Data Files/globe.gif"
var numFrames : int := Pic.Frames (fileName)
% Load the picture
var delayTime : int
var pics : array 1 .. numFrames of int
Pic.FileNewFrames (fileName, pics, delayTime)
% Set the window to fit the picture
var w := Pic.Width (pics (1)) + 20
var h := Pic.Height (pics (1)) + 20
View.Set ("graphics:" + intstr (w) + ";" + intstr (h) + ",nobuttonbar")
% Display the pictures
for i : 1 .. 50
    Pic.DrawFrames (pics, 10, 10, picCopy, upper (pics), 50, false)
end for

Post subject:  that does not work
when i run that sample i get a rotating globe but when i change the path of the globe gif to where my gif is it does not work and if any one needs to know i have turing 4.1.1

What did you enter exactly as the path? As in EVERYTHING in the quotation marks.

Post subject:  im thinking of just extracting my gif
i would extract my gif file if i have to but theres so many frames in it i dont want to extract it if i dont need to i know theres a way to put my gif on the screen and have it run properly because the globe.gif works just need working code that will do it

Post subject:  you would think this would work
this code works for the globe gif but not for my gif why is that



code:

const fileName := "C:/Users/josh/Pictures/level5.gif"
var numFrames : int := Pic.Frames (fileName)

var delayTime : int
var pics : array 1 .. numFrames of int
Pic.FileNewFrames (fileName, pics, delayTime)

var w := Pic.Width (pics (1)) + 20
var h := Pic.Height (pics (1)) + 20



View.Set ("graphics:" + intstr (w) + ";" + intstr (h) + ",nobuttonbar")

for i : 1 .. 50
delay (1000)
    Pic.DrawFrames (pics, 10, 10, 0, upper (pics), 50, false)
end for

It's hit or miss. It probably won't work.

Don't use GIFs, store all the images in an array, then draw them one by one.

how do i do that i dont really know how to use arrays

I suggest you check out the Turing Walkthrough page and learn about all the basics (plus there are some advanced stuff like recursion)
first Very Happy!

explain how recursion is needed for drawing images in an array, the way I see it, recursion is not needed
