Python - Help moving animated gifs on a frame
Hi
I'm getting used to PyCharm. I like it. Thanks experts who suggested it.
I'd like to know if anyone knows how to capture an animated gif from a URL and move it around on a frame? ( click-select)-( press 'm' and click to endpoint) The Python Threading and Window events, listening and handling don't seem as straightforward as in Java.
For example, the Mutalisk at

I'm curious as to the possibility of using a frame for an RTS like movement system of jpeg animated GIF's. or regular GIF's - Not necessarily over a scenery, a white window.
In fact, for any type of game, not an RTS, maybe Pacman or Mario Bros style. Is this possible in Python?
Isn't Python platform independent?

These suggestions all sound promising!
I'm still trying to tackle Pygame installation on Macbook first
I have the file
pygame-1.9.1release-python .org-32bit -py2.7-mac osx10.3-2
What will happen when I open it?
Will it automatically do a correct installation?

Do you want to create graphical application which shows an animated image?
Or do you want a web page, where you can start / stop animating a gif?
Shall this work under Windows / linux ?
If this should a a native application, then you should probably first choose your graphical framework.
PyGtk
PySIde / PyQT
PyTK
PyGame
If you just want to extract frames from an animated gif you can look at PIL (or Pillow) which allows to read GIF files and extract frames. However PIL does not allow to write animated GIFs
