HI, I want to split a gif image into its constituent frames, so I can use them to animate a character in a basic game.
Can anyone point me towards an app that will do it for me? I've been searching for a while now and haven't been able to find anything

Thanks for any help

First if you're using something like XNA, here's something I wrote to get you started with using a spritesheet to animate something on screen:

Now to answer your question about splitting a GIF into individual frames:

I copied this from the intertubes:

public static IEnumerable<Bitmap> GetImages(Stream stream)
{
    using (var gifImage = Image.FromStream(stream))
    {
        var dimension = new FrameDimension(gifImage.FrameDimensionsList[0]); //gets the GUID
        var frameCount = gifImage.GetFrameCount(dimension); //total frames in the animation
        for (var index = 0; index < frameCount; index++)
        {
            gifImage.SelectActiveFrame(dimension, index); //find the frame
            yield return (Bitmap) gifImage.Clone(); //return a copy of it
        }
    }
}
