Animated GIF : try another JS library about piskel HOT 14 CLOSED

Could be ok, and looks like a fun piece of code :)

Generating GIFs remains a nice to have for now, and if there is too much effort to have it with our current stack I would be in favor of skipping it for now.

=> Still let's at least integrate this library with piskel and see what kind of results we can get. (but we drop it if it doesn't seem to fit)

from piskel.

And if I remember correctly the goal of this was to have some way of displaying previews for animations right ? To have a better /all than the one we have today (not that difficult :) ).

If creating GIFs is a pain we can simply create a png of one of our frames and store it alongside the model :

var canvas = document.getElementById("mycanvas");
var img    = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");

from piskel.

@bcharbonnier suggested using PIL for this : https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/images/installingPIL

Let's have a look.

from piskel.

yeal I kow about PIl but version used on GAE is 1.1.7 (with python2.7) and
the only mac verion available is 1.1.6 ...
At this point I got the GAE lazyness

But can't you just store all the frames side by side in a png ? Is it not how the others tools available are handling animations files now ?

For export it's easy, and for import you just need a GAE part to deserialize the png

What do you think ? (but ok, I know gifs are so damn cool....)

from piskel.

@ben: We could (and will soon) export the model as a PNG slideshow like you
proposed above. BTW that's what you need for animated images on a canvas -
animated GIF on canvas aren't properly supported last time I checked).
But as you said, GIF are cool :) and we would like to be able to export the
model as well in this format.

@julz: I agree for png preview

The best way to get people in your project, harass them with non meaningful
stuff :)
