I wrote a basic simulation of slot machines using C and GTK under Linux. The slot machine has 5 reels with each reel having 3 symbols. To “spice up” the spinning action, I just use an animated GIF with an array of 3.5 GtkImages.
I would like it to look like a suitable slot machine, where a vertical animation was created for each reel. I would suggest that I would need to create a pixmap or pixbuf from the characters on the reel, use g_timer_add () to change the visible part of pixmap to GtkImage. I am new to Gtk +, so if anyone has a simple example of this type of animation or good documentation, I will be forever grateful.
Thank.
