Hi , i tried to do a simple program to play a sequence of images, but i had no luck , im just a newbie and i ended up with just many useless code,

do you know if there is some code somewhere that i can reuse to play my image sequence ?

thanx!

Do you have an image-sequence-playing mission, or a want-to-learn-Java/Processing mission

I wrote something in C++ using openFrameworks that plays image sequences, and I had lots of problems (such as not being familiar with C++ and writing multithreaded code). The "Weather Projection" project had a requirement to play back timelapse footage of sunrises from around the world, and, as there were thousands of images, they had to be loaded in real-time, not in some setup stage.

I created a separate thread to do the image loading (and decoding) so that the program could continue with "smooth" animation the whole time (or at least most of the time!), and the program will "drop frames" if things are going too slowly (I didn't know in advance how fast the image sequences would need to be played back - and they were variable depending on a time schedule!).

If you're brave you can look inside the code... And there's an executable so you can see it running, though you might have to supply some setup data and images - you'll need an "if" (image folder) entry in the schedule file.

PhiLho, looks like he was the one asking the same question in the thread you mentioned. and looks like i already mentioned the gif library there. Looks like we are repeating ourselfs

Sure it was not. I just didnt get it at right away
