it will be possible with turing in 4~5 years, when the copyright on .gif encoding expires

it would be really cool, if someone could make a program that can take several GIF's and make an animated one. hint hint, someone out there (if its possible in turing!) |

Actually it's a smart idea for the creators, they are able to collect royalties from people buying the license. It's like saying "Let's make Windows Open Source!!!", we all know it won't happen |

Step 1. ~~~~~ Take an animated GIF and break it into 1 bmp of jpeg per frame. If you don't have a program to do this already download IrfanView from download.com (it is free, not just free to try) Step 2. ~~~~~ Load all of the frames into an array of integers (when you want to draw them later they are already in RAM, and thus draw much quicker) Step 3. ~~~~~ Draw frames in order and cycle it. The example here is very simple and would need changes to incorperate it into a real program. |

Go ahead  That'd be awesome  Thats the way the world works unfortunatly...we'd probably have cured cancer by now if all the labs would share their information  Everyone for themselves these days *sigh*  |
