animation without loops

[basketball4ever]

is it possible?? and how???

[basketball4ever]

i was taught to do turing animations with for loops... is there any other way...?

If by for loops you mean for loops inside of a main loop, that's bad.
What you want to do is have a bunch of pictures that you can flip through. Each time through the main loop (or you could have it based on time), add one to the counter (and if the counter is more than the max number of pictures, set it back to one). Draw the picture associated with that counter number.

by "for loops" he means counting loops

That's why u add the "counter" variable that increases by 1 each time the loop runs.

well i figured the normal loops out already quite a while ago... but i was owondering if turing has functions that can do animations without loops

since it cant load gif files... is there a way?

[Cervantes]

Turing 4.0.x can't, as far as I know. Perhaps sprites from pre-Turing 4 could do it; I don't know, I've never used them. Perhaps DanSprite could do it, but again, I don't really know.
There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to use loops for your animation. Why don't you want to?

[cycro1234]

There was a whole discussion on how Holt Soft didn't buy the license to use some pictures.

[Bacchus]
