Re: LuaSQL and video implementation

Hi

First of all, it is nice to see that Pipmak is still in use and 
Christian is still around. Unfortunately, I didn't get around to create 
a game with Pipmak during the last years as I once dreamed of.

In fact, you can already use a serie of pictures to achieve animations. 
See for example my "Full Animation Demo"
http://www.andonyar.com/rec/2006-03/pipmakfullanimation/
or the ending of "The sphere", which you can download at
http://pipmak.sourceforge.net/showcase.php

In order to achieve this, use a timer to replace the last frame with the 
new one, where every frame is just a normal picture.
