CEL ANIMATION IN BASIC

[ahenry3068]

This is pretty thrown together. Theres a lot of static in the Background. This is caused by each frame having a slightly different Palette. I'm trying to figure a way to sort that. But the Frame rate is better than I had hoped for.

Animation resolution is 320 x 60 and I'm getting about 10 fps just with Basic BVLOAD.

Heres the files.

Ok. Got the pallette cleaned up a little. Cut down the flicker a lot.

If I'm going to make this a viable thing to include in programs I've got to get better with Imagemagick and GIMP

Heres an Idea of how to use this in HANGMAN. After the player wins a round.

I am interested in opinions on this.

HERES THE ZIP FILE. THE PROGRAM NAME IS STILL ANIMATE.PRG. SOURCE ALSO INCLUDED ANIMATE.BAS

I finally tested on Hardware. Slightly slower than the Desktop Emulator. For what I'm using for its a semi-acceptable 7 to 8 fps per second.

Its 10 fps on the Desktop Emulator
8 fps on Hardware.

Anybody have an idea why the Web-Emulator is such an outlier at >15 fps.
