    I made this topic for all of those who want to post their .gif images made with The Powder Toy!
    What I mean by a .gif image is an animated image with the .gif image format.

    If you don't know how to make a .gif image; I will show you the most basic way of making one in just 3 easy steps...
    ok, maybe 13 steps(But they're still very easy).
    1● Press the Print Screen key on your keyboard. It may be labeled [PrtScn].
    2● Open an image editing program, such as Microsoft Paint.
    3● Go to the Edit menu and choose Paste.
    4● If prompted to enlarge the image, choose Yes.
    5● Optional: Use your image editor's crop tool to crop out unnecessary portions of the screen shot.
    6● Go to the File Menu and choose Save As.
    7● Navigate to the folder where you want to save the image.
    8● Type a file name for the image.
    9● Select a file type.
    10● Click the Save button.
    11● Follow steps 1 to 10 for every frame you want in your .gif image.
    12● After you've made all the frames go to any of these sites and follow the prompts*: site1 , site2 or site3
    13● YOUR DONE!
    *If you need more frames you can search google for another gif image maker or you'll need to download a program which can make .gif images.

    Alternatively, you could use a screen recording program (such as CamStudio) to automate the entire process and output to several filetypes.

    Even better, you can use a special compiled version (ask cracker64) and use TPT's built in GIF-maker ("v") to make a gif.

    it does not make a gif, it literally makes a screenshot of every frame, leaving it running a few seconds can give you hundreds of pictures that are a few hundred MB. one animation i made was 3.5GB of screenshots, and went down to a 4.8MB gif. i used GIMP to create it.
