is it possible to make an image that is constantly changing?

I currently have an idea of making a game that displays an image but changes constantly to try to make something that is like a video frame by frame. Is this possible though?

p.s if it is is there anyway i can start it with a GUI can you please tell me? i am a bit new to coding(on roblox) and might ask some dumb questions (sorry if i do)

Yes, this is very possible. This has been done by many people before; such as in Meep City, where alexnewtron made a TV. You can use spreadsheets. Search up "Working TV" on the DevForum. The link to the DevForum is here.

I checked on the DevForum and i saw the tv but will it only work if it is a surface gui? sry for asking here i cant reply on devforum yet

A simple way you could get by with is stepping through it frame by frame in a while true do loop, or if you're displaying an item you could use ViewportFrames: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/viewportframe-gui

Depends on your use case mostly, if it will be a video of premade images you'll need to use some kind of a loop and a timing system to cycle through them

Hope this helps ~nevan
