Adding Animations to a program

Hey, i am working on my project Slots Alpha V0.1 and i thought i'd add a animation lever, but i don't know how to add animations

Is it the same as how you add pricutes fron npaintpro?
Becuase i tried that, and it didn't work.

Please help me

You literally draw the screen over and over with a little change in it. And you are doing this with a very, very small delay in between

I know, but if i use npaintpro and then save it as a .nfa file, how do i draw it inside the program?

I still need help :(/>

pictureName = paintutils.loadImage(pathOfLePicture)
paintutils.drawImage(pictureName, x, y)

So if you want an animation, do this:

gordonF = paintutils.loadImage("/pictures/gordonF")
screenX, screenY = term.getSize()


x, y = 1, 1
while x <= screenX do
  term.setBackgroundColour( colors.black )
  term.clear()
  paintutils.drawImage(gordonF, x, y)
  x = x + 1
  sleep(0.2)
end

This loads the picture gordonF, and gets the size of the screen.
It will clear the screen and draw the picture at x, y which is 1 and 1.
It will add 1 to x every 0.2 seconds, and also draws it now at x, y = 2, 1

This means the picture will move out of the screen at the right.

I want to add a animation picture from npaintpro.
Like i did a .nfa file and want to use it in a program.

I think its better to ask this in the thread of npaintpro. Because its a custom program, and personally I dont know how to use it.

Use Lightshot to record the .nfa. It'll generate a file that will show the animation when run (using shell.run or just running it from the shell).
