Ninja Penguin

[Van Halen Man]

I remember when I was in 7th grade( 3yrs ago) I made these silly cartoons with power point about a ninja penguin. This was before I even knew about linux. I made eight episodes. each were probably about 1 and a half minutes long on average. Most of them would be Ninja Penguin VS. Eskimo. Eskimo would always be trying to come up with ways to beat ninja penguin. There are only 2 where he is against someone else. There is Boxing Bear( who is a polar bear) and Dark Ninja penguin who is a clone of ninja penguin created by Eskimo when he found some of ninja Penguins blood on his coat. I just think that it is rather ironic that I made all of these ninja penguin episodes then I got into linux whose maskot(if that is what you want to call it) is a penguin. I wish that I had a program that was better for making animations like like flash or something but I dont have a job since I am only 15 and cant afford flash. Is there a program like flash for linux since powerpoint isnt the fastest program for transistion?

In case your looking for 3D animation you can use Blender http://www.blender.org/cms/Home.2.0.html

A gif animation? I think gimp supports animated gifs.

Unchuijar, this program would be great..."would" intead of is becaus I cant figure out what the heck I am doing. I would be GREAT if you could give me a bit of help, or link me to some help. I could also just use a 2D animator, but not GIF, Alex Stan, I already have a GIF creator but thanks.

There is f4l (flash for linux): http://f4l.sourceforge.net/

Yeah, i forgot about f4l. I'm to much into Macromedia that i discarded f4l because of less features(in programming). But i'm mainly in webprograming when i use flash, i don't use flash for animation.

So f4l will be great for you.

I haven't really used Blender that much, I only dabbled in 3dsMaxStudio a while ago. There should be a lot of resources online from which to learn how to use it (I do know it has a pretty steep learning curve ). This http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Tutorials.243.0.html would probably be a good start.

Ninja Penguin? Why, it's the only place to buy and sell used games!
