Hi there,
I have an image that is split into lots of little images that when flipped through would effectively animate the character. :cool:
How would i go about playing through the images, i assume i would somehow map the image into a two-dimensional array and then just run through the required parts, how would i do this?
Regards,

I assume there is a simple bitblt way of doing this :cool:
Are the images dynamically loaded or static (resource)? What image format are you using for the images?

Loading from a .gif allthough i can easily convert it to .bmp or other formats to make it easier :mrgreen:
You want to load them into a one dimension array really as then each array index represents a frame of animation. This could be done using windows functions quite easily (BitBlt function and the WM_TIMER message are two things to research). Curiously the win32 function LoadImage can take either bmps or gifs take your pick!

Cheers :) Out of curiosity is there any kind of resource like the php.net of the win32 API :p I'm always looking to find new functions :D
