Horses racing

Hello!

I am in the process of making a horse racing management game and am struggling with the horses (mainly because I am a useless artist!) so my questions/requests are:

1) Can anyone make me a basic horse with jockey animated sprite?
2) If I want to make my own sprites how do i go about it?

I am new here so excuse the basic questions!

Cheers

www.google.com

search for "horse racing clipart"

create animstrip of horse sliding up down

[optional] use the rect-select tool in ms paint to move the head/legs around a bit for added realism



and there you go. high quality sprite in 4 steps. proud? you should be.

or http://www.gamblingclipart.com/horseracingclipart.htm and convert the gifs to an animstrip. somehow. (hint: try code archives)

Thanks all.

How do i "convert" gifs to animstriups - anyone?

thanks!

When i run this piece of code nothing happens - does it place a file somewhere for me to access with my new program?

You are supposed to add that piece of code to your program, not run it as stand-alone.

in that code the line:

myanim=LoadAnimGif("mygif.gif")

sets the variable myanim with the handle of the animstrip

ahhhhhhhhhh ill try it.

Cheers all
