Pete's QBASIC Site

is there a file format to view an gif9 animation in qb?

what I would like to do is use the animations for a background in a game I got the bmp viewers but haven found a gif viewer to work yet..

Best bet is to convert GIF images to bitmaps. See the GIFsplitter program download here:

Scroll down and try it. It creates a number of BMP images from animated GIF files. If the image is small enough, you can GET all of them into one Graphic array and BSAVE all of them at once. Index the color settings to the front of the array as they will probably change the default QB color settings.

I did download the file though I make the Gifs from bmp's so I guess it is just as good to use the bmp's but I got the program any how you just never know when it might be usefull

If you look carefully, you will find a link to a program in QB that does the decoding. You should be able to insert a wait-routine to nab the different frames if you decode how the thing works.

The second link there is the actual ZIP downloader of the program.

I actually posted the first link as a designation of who coded, (or uploaded it?), it.
