GIFPlay

@a740g this is excellent! Could you possibly add a way to jump to a frame, then we could use this for a stack of animation for our sprites. E.g idle - frame 1-2, walk - frame 3-5, jump = frame 6-10 etc.

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.

That is awesome to hear! Yes ! I will help test! This is huge!

Opens up tons of possibilities for easy game making with just GIFs!
