Where to find gifs?
Hey everyone!
I know this might be a weird question, and not the correct place to ask but: Where can I find gifs to use for coding?
I am trying to make a game and I'm planning on having a character that moves in 4 directions. Up, down, left and right. Pretty simple. However, I would like this character to have animations for moving in such directions, as well as standing still. Now the problem I am having, is finding such gifs. It doesn't really matter what the character looks like, as long as it has these 5 animations. But I'm having trouble scouring the web for such gifs. Most of my search results are not useable for my intentions.
I have been trying to find a place where animations as such exit (I'm fairly certain they do), but have been unsuccessful. Is there any website where I could find these type of gifs?
Kind regards

Your problem may be that you probably need sprite sheets, not gifs. You CAN also load gifs as sprite assets....
But for four-direction motion, that may not be what you want. You may want sheets instead.
Look at the processing sprites library.
Also, look at free online game assets, many of which have categories for sprite sheets.
You aren't looking for gifs. You're looking for sprites or sprite animations.
Keep in mind that creating sprites is an art in itself, so please don't steal somebody else's work. Either find an open-source sprite sheet, commission an artist to create one for you, or come up with your own.
Thank you both very much!
Sprites are indeed the exact thing I was looking for, I just didn't know it was called a sprite.
As for stealing someone else work, I do not intend on going public with my program. It's a personal project which purpose is to not only keep me occupied, but also a way for me to learn more about coding (I'm still a novice).
