    The title of this topic says it all.

    I’m trying to build a simple sprite, that would travel from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2) in a certain time. The module acAnimation might be useful, if the functions there would be documented. As they are not, can you provide some pointers as how to go about making a sprite fly?

    All manuals will be updated soon.
    But acAnimation unit hasn’t functions for sprites making.
    Where you are planning to output an animation effect?

    I would like a symbolic datafile to fly from the data origin to the data target (as confirmation of a user action).

    Yes. The flying sheet came into my mind.
    I suppose you know a way to show this behavior?

    Hello Dick!
    Do you have a list of ready images which must be painted?
    Or you have a Gif or video file?

    Because I didn’t know how to accomplish this, I didn’t go into the trouble of making the necessary images. The gif that Stephane shows is a good idea. But in my case, the sheet should fly a bit diagonally across the screen from a variable (X0,Y0) to a fixed (X1,Y1).

    Adding support for APNG (Animated PNG) would be nice, but it might be a lot of job, I don’t know.

    Dick! Do you have source images already?

    Suppose I have images (I don’t) what do you want to do with them?
    Look at the animated gif that Stephane showed. That’s the idea.
