Edit Reason: Update to latest version
)
This is an animated GIF player library written purely in QB64-PE.
I was kind of annoyed and frustrated with the issues in the animated GIF library implementation we have listed in the wiki. Unfortunately, InForm's GIF support is derived from the same code, and it suffers from the same limitations and issues. Basically, it does not support frame local color tables and does not correctly support all of GIF's frame disposal methods. So, I set out to write an animated GIF library that can work standalone and also with InForm-PE.
The latest version of the library will always be a part of InForm-PE. You can find the code inside InForm-PE/InForm/extensions.
I am also attaching a standalone zip file here. This zip file contains just the GIFPlay library, demo and its dependencies.
Library documentation is here: InForm-PE/InForm/docs/GIFPlay.md
You'll find some other useful (?) stuff in the InForm/extensions directory.
Cheers!
