If you own Pangolin Software then there's an animated snake strike graphic in there. Perfect for what you're doing.

It is copyright though so unfortunately no-one can supply you with it seperately.

Beg, borrow, don't steal (!) some Pango software and you should have a copy.

Here's a preview (I added the Pango logo to stop anyone from tracing it, it normally isn't there):

I do not have Pangolin at this time, still just a hobbyist for the most part..
Saving up for it.

If you could get a hold of a non copyright snake .bmp then maybe someone would trace it into an ild for you.

If you're lucky, they might even try to animate it.

Do an advanced search on Google images for 'snake', select search for line drawings only.

I did just that and this is the first page that turned up... Hundreds of line drawings of snakes

http://www.google.co.uk/images?as_q=...w=1276&bih=627

Then you just need a simple trace program to convert the images to ILDA (or whatever you're using).

It's worth everyone noting about Googles line drawing advanced search feature. I realise that not all images are copyright free, but hey, if i solves an immediate problem...

Hope this helps.

How about the actual game projected with our lasers?

search for animated gifs, open them with the gimp, save each frame individually and you've got an animated ilda frame easy

what is a gimp?

**shrad** · 08-25-2010, 03:39

"the gimp" is an open source software for picture edition, equivalent to paint shop pro or photoshop but different, which is really complete and professional

Any luck on the snake?

Well, I had a green laser diode go out. and I have been trying to program Freestyler ( dmx lighting app ) which i am brand new too.

I think i about got freestyler all setup, im going to test it tonight with all the fixtures attached , which is a ordeal in its self

Most of my time has been going to that. plus alot of extra work at my full time job

So I have put the snake on the back burner for a minute. I found a couple still image snake .ild
I also can only do white in my tracing app because i dont have it fully setup yet either.

I am going to have to make time to come up with something before saturday

thanks for all the help
