Basically some way of determining how many frames an animation will last if has # of sprites X and speed Y Gridquest V2.00 is out!! http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=7456

At speed 1, each sprite plays for 100 frames. At speed 3 (there is no speed 2), each sprite plays for ~33 frames. Thus, the end result is that each sprite has a duration of 100 / Y frames, where Y is the speed. Thus, given a number of animation frames X, and an animation speed Y, the formula for gameplay frames Z is: Z = (100 * X) / Y So an 20 frame animation, playing at speed 30, should last around 66 gameplay frames (which is 66/50 or 1.32 seconds) I should note it seems to round down...

There is a lot of stuff ive learnt over the years from random forum posts that were quite useful and yet left to get pushed down the list into obscurity. I don't think it's all that well noted that TGF runs at 50 frames per second for instance. .

AndyUK Mascot Maniac Registered 01/08/2002 Points 14586	14th January, 2008 at 13:59:27 - I never thought of that. .
DeadmanDines Best Article Writer Registered 27/04/2006 Points 4758	14th January, 2008 at 16:29:05 - Another nifty use for this: Animation speeds are dependent on framerate, so if you have a game where the user can choose his own framerate, the animations will go faster or slower depending on the changes they make. This formula can be used to adjust animation speeds accordingly. 191 / 9999 * 7 + 191 * 7
