Sup guys. Feel free to tell me if this is the wrong place for this, I'm not sure.
Anyway, I've taking up making vintage style 2d video games as a hobby and I wanted to make a spinning DNA strand for the start menu of my latest work. I've never tried to do this before and it's really confused me. I didn't really know what I was doing to start with, so I just made the basic template I want to go with. Anyone mind giving me a little guidance? how do I make this spin? do I just draw out each individual frame and put them together as a gif? and if so, how do I even go about that? how do I make the parts of the individual frames line up?
Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

Here's the template pic

You don't wanna draw that. Just program it, either draw it in realtime or pre-render it. It just takes some x-coords of a circular motion.
