The container is named MovieClip and can contain other MovieClip s, Animations and their derived classes (Animation is the image that shows on screen). When yourmovieclip.Draw(sf::RenderWindow) is called the movie clip sorts the objects( so they have z ordering), calculates their position and rotation (the whole movieclip can be rotated by modifying one parameter), executes a user defined function (some kind of keyframes), and calls nestedmovie.Draw(…), than goes to the next frame.

MovieClip.hpp contains a description of all its members. It is a little complicated so an example will help. Source:header2.rar

When modifying just 3 frames is enough there is no problem but if you want to make a simple animation in witch you move something like make a players hand go up you want to have a graphical editor that does all the hard work. I have just started coding a code generator that will let you graphically create animations, save them as header files and include them in your source.

For now it is a console and it only lets you insert images…gui.rar

When I will update it I will write the modifications here.

If some of you want to write some gui elements let me know
