This simple animation engine is an attempt at creating a universal animation engine that I could use to handle all the animations in my game.
After searching online, I realised every animation tutorial or example code was either too simplistic to handle more complex animation states like player movement, or too complex and I couldn't understand the code.
This simple animation engine is robust enough to handle more complicated animation, such as player movement, and simple enough that it's not overkill to use on stationary objects. And if it's not quite what you need, I hope my code is simple enough to understand that you can make whatever modifications you need.
By no means is this the be all and end all of animation engines, but for those who are new to pico-8 development or people looking to improve their current engine, I hope this helps.
