Title: Animated GIF Viewer

Program Creator: xCyberFang

Small Description:
Simple program to view animated GIFs on your Zune. Nothing big, nothing small.

Download (RAR):
Gif Viewer 0.9.rar

Below is some Extra information which isn't necessary to read,
but if you would like a little more info before using it..

How to put in Gifs: If your familiar with Netrix's book reader, this works pretty much the same way, only difference is you just drop the images into the "Gifs" folder, and thats it, no need to edit any properties. Controls: Press pause/play to pause/play gif, click the center button to switch between zoom in and zoom out mode. Pressing the back gives you the menu which you can exit the app, change music, and toggle what info is shown at the bottom. When in zoomed mode, press direction of wanting to scroll image, when in the zoomed out mode, press left and right to change gifs. File Information: the zoom out page shows a little bit of info including the filename, the number of the gif your viewing out of the total number of gifs, the FPS, the frame of the animating gif and the total number of frames. Speed of Application: The FPS tends to go a little slow, around 2FPS - 7FPS, but hey, it works, and the Gifs animation gets updated via the draw method instead of the update, so it doesnt skip any frames being shown.

Why such a slow frame rate?

[xCyberFang]

Because its loading multiple textures, it loads each frame in the gif every time it hits the draw function.

Yeah i know
this site tends to be full of know it alls, and jump straight to thinking their thoughts are 100% facts.
so they go and flame you and say "YoU FaIl GiFs ArEnT AlLoWeD On ZuNe!!1!one!"

Whenever someone on the site thinks they are know it alls, just say that they can never be 100% true until they get off their lazy asses and attempt to try it for theirself.


The knowitall's also believe that ccgames cant be open sourced when in reality.... THEY CAN BE!!
