https://wiki.mozilla.org/APNG_Specification

The only problem is that opengl will have no idea how to draw it, and we'd still have to create an atlas I assume.

Research direction

Read the linked APNG specification first. Then investigate how the project currently handles image drawing through OpenGL and whether images are placed in an atlas. Done should include a defined approach for animated PNG support that addresses both rendering and atlas handling.
