Animation help in pygame
Post: #1
I am trying to learn python/pygame and I've ran into a problem. Is it possible to use a spritesheet to simulate walking? I can move the sprite around but it's just like he's sliding around. I'm sorry if I didn't explain in detail, but perhaps someone could help me with this?

You should do both, moving the sprite's coordinates and changing the sprite's picture (so he appears to be moving legs etc.)

You can use time based animation or frame based animation.
Say you have an array (tables in python?) of each image names 'images' and a timer called 'timer', this is what the psudeo code would look like.
That's very basic way to do animations and not the best, but you should get the idea 
Say you have an array (tables in python?) of each image names 'images' and a timer called 'timer', this is what the psudeo code would look like.
Code:
while left is being pressed
if timer.time >= 0 && timer.time <=4 then
blit images[0]
end
if timer.time >= 5 && timer.time <=9 then
blit image[1]
end
if timer.time >= 10 && timer.time <=14
blit image[2]
end
end
