APNG File Format

[ahenry3068]

Thanks @SMcNeill for this. 

He published a program for saving PNG format. I use it as a source and thanks to this these two programs were created:

1) The first one - a program for saving images in animated PNG format (or APNG). It has only the basics, it does not support some things, it will be worked on. But the important thing is that with it you can create animated PNG, which then will open and play in any Internet browser.

2) _LoadImage loads static PNGs and you would only see the first frame of the animation. That's why there is also a viewer for this PNG format, perhaps it should be able to handle all of them, but if something doesn't work (very possible), write to me here, we'll take a look.

The attachments include APNG (PNG) files with animations. The ball and the text in the window are the results of the first program, the animated back image is a file downloaded from the FreeBasic forum.

There are static png files in the ZIP file, I don't know which file I extracted them from, but the program for saving as is will allow you to try to create your own animated PNG from them.
