Title
Looking for expert streamlit animators to help me with a game I’ve created.
We’ll set up a payment schedule for the project after we figure out if we are a good fit. Thanks!
Hey Michael
I have extensive experience working with streamlit, I would love to help you with your game.

Thanks!
Hey @Michael43 ,
Interested, if deemed fit please feel free to reach out via GitHub @ aryadhruv
I need a ton of animation help - here’s an example of one of the games within my game: It’s a slot machine that I want to work better and be more fun! → do you think you can help ? # Streamlit Lottie Slot Machine 
--------------------------------
Quick start:
pip install streamlit streamlit-lottie requests
streamlit run slot_app.py
Swap the Lottie URLs below with your own, OR put .json files in ./lottie/
and load them with load_lottie(“lottie/lever.json”) etc.
import time
import random
from pathlib import Path
import json
import requests
import streamlit as st
from streamlit_lottie import st_lottie
st.set_page_config(page_title=“ Slot Machine”, page_icon=“”, layout=“centered”)
----------------------------
LOTTIE LOADING HELPERS
----------------------------
def load_lottie(src: str):
“”“Load Lottie from a URL or a local .json path.”“”
try:
if src.startswith(“http”):
r = requests.get(src, timeout=10)
if r.status_code == 200:
return r.json()
else:
st.warning(f"Lottie URL failed: {src} (HTTP {r.status_code})")
return None
else:
p = Path(src)
if p.exists():
return json.loads(p.read_text(encoding=“utf-8”))
else:
st.warning(f"Lottie file not found: {src}")
return None
except Exception as e:
st.warning(f"Could not load Lottie: {e}")
return None
----------------------------
PLACEHOLDER LOTTIE ASSETS
(Replace these with your own!)
----------------------------
A gentle looping “idle” light effect (placeholder)
IDLE_URL = “https://assets9.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_q5pk6p1k.json”
A lever pull animation (placeholder)
LEVER_URL = “https://assets7.lottiefiles.com/private_files/lf30_editor_e7qk3x0q.json”
A spin/whirl overlay (placeholder)
SPIN_URL = “https://assets4.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_touohxv0.json”
Confetti for wins (optional but oh-so necessary)
CONFETTI_URL = “https://assets1.lottiefiles.com/packages/lf20_jbrw3hcz.json”
L_IDLE = load_lottie(IDLE_URL)

If you can replace the Lottie URLs new assets for a custom fun experience. Add paylines, sounds, and a jackpot to get fancy.
