I am currently working on a tile based engine, and have it set up so that each tile has an image pasted to it every frame. This is working very well, but I now need to implement animated textures, such as water.

I don't know what kind of media I should use... Should I use a sprite sheet or some kind of gif or some other method?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

Hi there.
You could use an animated gif or several images and make your own function.

To load an animated gif:

+ Code Snippet

sync on
sync rate 60

load animation "my_animation.gif",1

play animation to image 1,1,0,0,200,200
loop animation 1

do
rem paste image 1,0,0
sprite 1,200,200,1
sync
loop

Cheers.
