it is actually not hard to make those GIFs.....
think it as an animated cartoons.....
uses many frames to diaply.....

I use Ulead GIF Animator 5 to make.....
there r lot and lot of gif animator program for download on the web....
first u have to think up a design and the scene of how ur animation would looks like......then starting on the creation of first frame.....after that...alter something a bit in the first frame and save it as second frame....and so on.....

for my tiny SSA..I simply capture the SSA many times while it's running...I captured around 30 frames....and resize it then put them all together in a GIF....finally I specified how long will each frame display..and that's it.....done....not very hard

Tiny Turtle
ya
make more creation of ur avatar...how about a tiny turtle swimming around?

Jim

yes indeed.....that what I think so too...huummm....
well.....as long as the SSA don't crash too many times of my system....it won't bugs me anyway......I can live with this minor issue.....thx for ur suggestion.....

now let me pull back to the topic....
Jim, once u've complete the new critter....r we able to turn on and off of some? just like some fishes........and even set it randomly appers?
I think it's quite a normal way to design like that....
and can we turn off the starfish as well?

and are those critter's position will be saved when SSA exit just like the starfish now?
