This program requires five bitmap files one.pic to five.pic. Each of these would differ slightly. They might, for example, be five snapshots of a running human figure, each with the legs at a different point in their cycle.
The program copies each bitmap into a window of its own, then makes each window visible in turn, each time slightly further across the screen.
To make bitmap files, first draw the pattern you want with any of the graphics drawing commands. (Use gLINEBY 0,0 to draw single dots.) When the pattern is complete, use gSAVEBIT to make the bitmap file. For advanced animation, you could use a sprite as described in About OPXs.
