Can SFML play animation gifs?

[FourSight]

Does it support the use of .gif files in 2D Game programming?

Also, does anyone know how to get SFML working on Visual C++ 2010?

A quick google search answered your first question. By Laurent himself

Comes with reasons even.

What troubles are you having setting it up?

Setting up the SFML files properly on Visual C++ 2010. But since SFML can't play animation gifs, I'll stick with Allegro. That would be the only reason why I'd use SFML, at least for now.

Most libs typically expect you to do the animation yourself, rather than load a pre-animated image file like a gif.

I'm actually surprised allegro even supports animated gifs. It seems rather strange.

I think allegro supports it through an addon, which is still kind of strange.
