[[Wikipedia:Autodesk Animator|Autodesk Animator]] '''FLIC''' animations, also known as '''FLC''' or '''FLI''' animations, are a sequence of 256 colour bitmaps shown in sequence, similar to a [[GIF]]. To save space, only the pixels changed since the last image are stored in the new image. (There may also be [[RLE]] compression in there, I can't remember).

FLC files are mainly used in some types of computer games, due to the ability to draw FLC files very quickly and compatability with some [[libraries]], such as [http://alleg.sourceforge.net Allegro]. Elsewhere, they are not common due to the low quality image (from the 256 colours) and low compression rates.

Programs like [http://ase.sourceforge.net/ ASE]{{dead link}} can create and edit these files easily.
