Display 2 image sequences over each other in Delphi

Play a game card animation built by 2 image sequences (layers) with alpha, over each other, forwards or backwards. So the resulting code can be used to show an animation with any given 2 cards like the video in the attachment, by playing the sequence forward, waiting and playing backward. A user interface is not needed, just a very primitive one to test it works. The code you'll provide will be used for showing an opening-closing animation after an image of closed cards waiting on the display. ## Deliverables Requirements : - no flicker with 320x180, 15fps - 2 layers with alpha - content will be selected using 2 card names and symbols, from set of premade image sequences I provide, which are already named conventionally - play forward or backwards - displayable on a background (sequences already has proper alpha for the shadow) Preferable : Images of 2 layers have the same content, the only difference is the alpha channel. And the alpha is same on all sequences in a layer. That means there are only 2 unique alpha sequences, 1 per layer. So if we can inject related alpha during runtime, we can get rid of 'layer 2', even use jpegs for images, taking the data size down from 300+ MB. You may; - do an initialization in the beginning if you need (eg. to combine layers before playing) - use images from a directory, or keep them in a resource - use another format (like a .mov rather than a .png sequence) In the attachment : - 2 sample sequences from both layers (don't worry about the grayish shadows, it's not in our scope). I'll give you the full set. - Sample video (just for an idea) Image naming convention : '[login to view URL]' 'l1' : layer ('l1' or 'l2'), '1' is the bottom, '2' is the top 'd4' : card name (like 'D'iamonds, '4') '0001' : image number in sequence
