::~~~~~~~~ Replace my pointless cartoon with your own movie below here.

::~~~~~~~~ You must label each frame ":Frame" and then the number of the frame
::~~~~~~~~ as below. Leaving gaps in the frame numbers, will make the frame before
::~~~~~~~~ the gap stay on screen for longer. This is demonstrated in frame 40.

::~~~~~~~~ After the frame label, there should be a cls. After you are finished your
::~~~~~~~~ frame, EXIT /b must be written, as demonstrated below.

::~~~~~~~~ You can also set the frame delay in one of your frames by writing
::~~~~~~~~ SET FRAMEDELAY=(Your Framerate Number here) before the EXIT /B as demonstrated
::~~~~~~~~ in frame 60.

::~~~~~~~~ Potentially this could be made into a game, where videos/movies are played reflecting
::~~~~~~~~ choices made by the user, this would be a graphical RPG game.
