Simple animation on Stellar Unicorn

I want to get 2 images to swap back and forth on my Stellar Unicorn. I have a jpg image already showing on the unicorn but want it to show another image quickly. Is there code I can use to make it that after 0.5 seconds the image changes, I’m very new to all this! Thank you :)

Could you post the code you have so far please?

from picographics import PicoGraphics, DISPLAY_STELLAR_UNICORN as DISPLAY
from stellar import StellarUnicorn
import jpegdec

stellar = StellarUnicorn()
graphics = PicoGraphics(DISPLAY)

# Create a new JPEG decoder for our PicoGraphics
j = jpegdec.JPEG(graphics)

# Open the JPEG file
j.open_file("pee.jpg")

# Decode the JPEG
j.decode(0, 0, jpegdec.JPEG_SCALE_FULL)

# Display the result
stellar.update(graphics)

Something like this may work? Worth a try anyway, I just quickly did it up.

import jpegdec
import time

stellar = StellarUnicorn()
graphics = PicoGraphics(DISPLAY)

# Create a new JPEG decoder for our PicoGraphics
j = jpegdec.JPEG(graphics)

while True:
    # Open the JPEG file
    j.open_file("pee.jpg")

    # Decode the JPEG
    j.decode(0, 0, jpegdec.JPEG_SCALE_FULL)

    # Display the result
    stellar.update(graphics)
    
    time.sleep(0.5)
    
    # Open the JPEG file
    j.open_file("other.jpg")

    # Decode the JPEG
    j.decode(0, 0, jpegdec.JPEG_SCALE_FULL)

    # Display the result
    stellar.update(graphics)
    
    time.sleep(0.5)
