About time I made a progress thread. though I have been updating my progress on the itch.io game page.

I'm making a Plants Vs Zombies clone (Birds Vs Worms), and have the core functionality down.
What's left for me now is mostly music, sound, polishing animations, and if I have time, add more levels/difficulties and units.
What I already have is this:
A functional GameBoy UI (though I advise you use the arrow keys, A and B to control anyway).
Enemies coming in, player units to be placed, currency, a timer and a win/lose condition when the enemy birds reach your side of the screen. It's all shaping up nicely for my first solo jam. I've also had to work all week, so time spent has been primarily in the weekends.
However, can anyone tell me what they use to make their animated gifs? It's my first time having to do that kind of work, and it seems super involved to record a video and convert it to gif, but maybe that's what it takes. If so, what video software do you use? Preferably open source/free.
Jam on!
