Create image and show image

Use the image editor to create images using the create image function, and then use show image like this:

let img = images.createImage(`
. . # . .
. # . # .
. . # . .
. # . # .
. . # . .

img.showImage(0)

The following example creates an image with 5 frames and then uses a for loop to show each frame on the screen:

let img2 = images.createImage(`
. . # . . . # # # # . # # # . . . . # . . # # # .
. # # . . . . . . # . . . # . . . # # . . # . . .
. . # . . . . . # . . . # . . . # # # # . # # # .
. . # . . . . # . . . . . # . . . . # . . . . # .
. . # . . . # # # # . # # # . . . . # . . # # # .
`)
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    img2.showImage(i * 5)
    basic.pause(1000)
}
