Animation

Animations are what lets us make our sprites move. To make animations you use something called a “sprite sheet”. Sprite sheets are when you take multiple sprites, put them inside of one sprite and then get the engine, in this case PixelPAD2D to break the images up for us turning them into frame(s). Then once you do that you can tell the engine to animate our objects for us by looping quickly through specific frames. Check out the methods and examples below for more.
