Description

I'm not sure if it is possible. But it would be cool to have sprites loading as gifs. Every other haxelib I tried that is supposed to do that cause crashes.

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the sprite-loading implementation and checking how animated image formats are handled in the engine and its dependencies. Done means GIF-backed sprites load without the crashes reported with other haxelibs, with coverage for the supported behavior.
