### The start
- `#pragma once`: I don't know what this does, but it's in both animated and static boot screens.
- `#pragma once`: Just generic C/C++ stuff to make sure the file is only included once, nothing interesting. ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pragma_once))
- `#define CUSTOM_BOOTSCREEN_ANIMATED`: Sets it to be an animated, not static, boot screen.
- `define CUSTOM_BOOTSCREEN_TIMEOUT 0`: The extra time that the last frame is held for.
- `#define CUSTOM_BOOTSCREEN_FRAME_TIME 200`: How many milliseconds each frame shows for. For a standard 128x64 display, 200ms is about as fast as it can go.

Rather than using Marlin's official converter, you can just take the array from the file generated by `convert frame.png frame.xmp`. Very useful for automation.
Note that the earlier example was generated using `convert`, so it's in hexadecimal format rather than decimal, unlike [`converter.html`](https://marlinfw.org/tools/u8glib/converter.html) would have generated. It's actually 3 frames (0.6 seconds) of Bad Apple (albeit a bit messed up).

2. Generate each frame's byte array using [`converter.html`](https://marlinfw.org/tools/u8glib/converter.html), then paste it into the file. Adjust the naming as needed (remember, it goes `custom_start_bmp`, `custom_start_bmp0`, `custom_start_bmp1`)
3. Add the ending code.

### Automatically
Note: This only allows for 5 FPS, no more, no less. However, I may edit `animator.py` to have an adjustable framerate.
