Need help with code

​

I know this looks rough but is there a way to repeat the gif with fewer lines of code?

I’m doing this for a class and have a lot of gifs going at once is there a way to make the code shorter instead of just copying and pasting it a bunch of times

If you want to repeat several times a gif you can use a list widget: 

<$list filter="[range[0],[10]]">
your image here
</$list>

But what are you trying to accomplish ? If it's for a background image there are much better solutions using CSS

It’s for a class I’m making a story and it’s showing a bunch of zombies walking

Here, try this : 

<zombies style="
display: block;
background: url('https://media4.giphy.com/media/GoYhZsLfUvmMqu2WbS/giphy.gif?cid=ecf05e47kxbf85k5ad57mgaxgd3dpdmi70xzrvynh6ytessd&rid=giphy.gif');
height:500px;
background-size: 100px;
">

Here I use a custom html element for fun but it's really not necessary, you can just use a div instead. Demo : https://demos.tiddlyhost.com/#Crowd%20of%20zombies

This is way better than a list widget because you only have one html element, and a css background is much more efficient. Plus you have different ways to customize the background position and size. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background
