Then we could do in our code check and loop over frames, stop playing walk on first frame of idle, etc
That's a good idea. I was going to add seek support. The only reason I did not do that is because of GIFs last-frame dependencies. It can cause weird artifacts with some GIFs if you seek to a random frame. The only way I can get past the frame dependency issue is if I completely pre-render every frame. That's the plan anyway. Once I have the base framework locked, I'll start adding FLI/FLC and aseprite support.
Maybe we can also do a PlaySegment(m, n) kind of routine, where it only loops from frame m to n. That way you'll not even have to check and manually loop frames. We can also do reverse loops.
