I require sprite animation help

[TheGreatSanguini]

I am working with Turing 4.0.3

I know relatively little about programming, only the basics of loops, for loops, and the datatypes string, int, and real. I have been given a basic understanding of Draw. commands and Pic commands. I understand basics of if statements. I have not been taught anything to do with GUI nor animation.

My goal is to create a small animation, involving three bitmap images of the same size. I wish to have the three images cycle continuously, and be able to be moved horizontally forwards and backwards using key commands. I have experimented with this in many ways, attempting to create its own forked process, attempting to use the sprite commands (of which I have been taught nothing), et cetera.

I would like to know what the best way to do such an animation is.

There will be a background. I think this information may be necessary, since it has made a difference with some of the experiments I've tried.

If I have forgotten to include any information that is necessary, please inform me that I may add it.

Thank you in advance.

I suggest learning more about if statements and loops, before attempting to move on.

well there's your problem

to my knowledge Turing 4.0.3 does not have a working Sprite module

so either upgrade to the free 4.1.1 or use Pic.Draw instead

4.0.3 did have a Sprite module. Any version after that and prior to 4.1 (ie. 4.0.5) did not have the Sprite module.
