Direct Animation VB6 making a boxer walk?

[nmaccari]

I am trying to remake Star Rank Boxing from the old Commodore days but I am having trouble animating the boxers. First, I tried to use bitblt which work but the dang boxer keep flickering every other step across the form. So, I was thinking I could try Direct Animation. But, I can't seem to find any useful help on the internet. Do you guys think I can get Direct Animation to take a few of my .gif files of a boxer and make him animate across the form? I would greatly appreciate any sample code that you guys may provide. Thanks. Nick.

Have you thought about using DirectX or to be more specific DirectDraw? That way you'll be able to Blt the images and it won't flicker. Theres plenty tutorials at www.directx4vb.com may even be some on Direct Animation if thats the way your wanting to go.
