Copied from Richard's Facebook page: thanks (once again!) to Darren Storer on groups.io for pointing it out.
The latest release of 'BBC BASIC for SDL 2.0' (v1.28a) includes, in an updated imglib.bbc library, support for displaying animated GIFs. The demonstration program below is included; it displays the same GIF image 17 times in different sizes, positions and orientations. The equivalent library for 'BBC BASIC for Windows' has also been updated to provide the same support. https://www.bbcbasic.co.uk/bbcsdl/ #bbcbasic
