not an entry-

i am trying to get an animation here, i am using the ags views animation, but i donno how to get it here.

[Evil]

You'll need to use another program other then AGS to make the animation. There's a free program called unFREEze that will take .GIF frames and animate them. You can get it here. http://www.whitsoftdev.com/unfreez/

For Everyone:

I know that everyone uses his favourite software for producing graphics, but for this particular kind of graphics (also called Pixel Art) i suggest you "Promotion" produced by Cosmigo.
This software is like a porting to Windows of the World Famous "Deluxe Paint 2" (originally developed for Amiga and Pc-DOS).
I use any kind of software for graphics, from Photoshop to Corel Draw to 3D Studio and Lightwave and believe me.... there's nothing better than Promotion for creating, modifying and animating this kind of graphics.
It's not Free, but it's worth a try.

N.B.: Deluxe Paint was used to create the graphics of Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis, for adapting the 256 colors version of Monkey Island ... and I thing for almost every old Adventure Game. It's palette cycling function is used in several games for obtaining effects like water, thunders and so on..
It's a piece of History.

  Couldn't decide what to do with this one. So here is my quick, sloppy, Half-thought-out, entry



How: Via Sniper Rifle
What: Makes no difference as one blob of drippy goo is so very like another.

The egg surrenders.

[Buckethead]

Here's my entry:



I dunno what exactly is inside, use your imagination 

EDIT:

Slightly improved the speed between the frames.

[SSH]

Blaargh, my gif animator screwed this up. Sorry for the banner at the top and rubbish BG colour...

how do i make gif. images?MSPaint makes it bmp.

[Vince Twelve]

You don't need to write "not an entry" on each post that isn't an entry.  People write that when the sprite that they're posting isn't meant to be judged in the competition.  Your post contains no sprite, so it's obviously not an entry.

And in paint, use "Save as" and there's a little place to change the file type.  I think it says "Save as type:"  Just change that to ".gif".

But if you want to make an animation, you're going to need another program since Paint can't save animated gifs.  Use the search function at the top of the page to find one of the many posts about these programs if you're looking for one.
