YES
that’s great!
no other people i’ve seen have included the corona!
the only thing that could make it better is getting the corona’s unique shape


but i have no idea how you would do that in gkc.

Yeah, anyone can add more barriers to make it more animated. I just made it 4 frames since I’m lazy lol

OMG!!! That looks great, @I_Like_Props! I hereby grant thee the Gimkit101 Seal of Approval!


I wonder how much memory it would take to make an eclipse that moves across an entire game map and slowly forms in real time. :thinking:

I tried to animate it, but I was eclipsed by the giant BUMP that followed. :expressionless:

I agree, Is is one of the best animations in Gimkit! However, if you want it to be PURELY flawless, It takes a LOT of time and memory.

I didn’t see this guide until just now. I actually saw the total solar eclipse, it was so cool! (I had to travel to see it)

In theory someone could make a map that simulates a past eclipse in real time. Though it would have to be ONLY the eclipse and the sheer amount of memory used and repetition might not be worth it.
