Prototyping raw image sequence assignment (2013)

Assignment: In Python, following the techniques shown in the Raw image and Raw image sequence examples, create a 1 second long animation by generating 25 frames of an image sequence and converting them to a GIF. Use just the basics: loops, variables, and if statements.

Rules:

• The code should be "pure" python (just using the standard libraries of python such as struct).
• The code should be no more than 50 lines.
• The images should be 320 x 240 pixels in size.

Results

To be posted / linked to here. Please post both your code (again, PURE python -- no libraries and less than 50 lines) + the resulting image (converted to GIF and uploaded to the wiki).

            out.write(struct.pack('B', g))
            out.write(struct.pack('B', r))
            out.write(struct.pack('B', a))
 
    out.close()
