GIF Images

[Anasky]

Hey everyone,

I've implemented SFML into my OpenGL application just now (still using the OpenGL rendering method).
I was wondering if it'd be possible to render gif images with SFML, and have them animated. And if it's possible, if there's a tutorial out there on how to implement them?

Thanks in advance

SFML can only load the first frame of GIF images. So you cannot use an existing animated GIF as-is.

If you need animations, you should store the images separately (can be multiple images in one texture or file). By the way, I've written some classes in my library Thor that simplify the process of animating, feel free to ask if you're interested

Thanks for the reply

Unfortunately not quite what I had hoped for though xD
