Pixel Joint Forum: Animating in Gamer Maker

Message

   I want to use Game Maker for my animations but I don't know how to make it loop. If any of you use it, can you please tell me how to make my animations loop when I save them as .gifs.

	It doesn't loop ever (there's no option), it has a terrible GUI, it doesn't do transparency, and it's generally a piece of trash for pixel art/animation. I suggest looking to other programs. EDIT: Oh yes, the other thing is there's no selection box tool. Edited by Monkey 'o Doom - 25 August 2007 at 5:59am

	That's pretty harsh. Honestly, it does do transparency, yes it's trash for PA - I use MSPaint for a reason! - but there is a selection box tool. I don't know what you're on about. I guess I should look at ImageReady CS2.

	I guess has Mark improved it a lot since version 6.1--I gave the thing up then. But for a lighter program than imageready CS, this topic has a few good links. I've heard a lot of good things about animation shop 3.
