Loading GIF in FreeBASIC

Post by Brandon »

I just switched from QBasic to FreeBASIC. Is there an easy way to load animated GIFs in FreeBASIC??

Nathan, if everyone used google rather than Pete's Site, then what reason would I have to exist? :lol:

Anyway, back on subject. Please be more specific with your problem. Do you need to be able to edit the images, or just display them?

Use a library, such as freeImage, devIL or SDL_image

I beleive they can load GIF's, or you could write your own GIF loader, quite a few exist for QB that could be easily translated.
I have left this dump.
