Texture Animation

using Clockwork.Animation

Texture animation is pretty simple, and is done like so:

Texture walkingTexture = Texture.Load("sprites/player/walking.png");
TextureAnimation walkingAnimation = new(walkingTexture, 4, 16, 16, 0.2f);

The arguments are the texture, frame count, frame width, frame height, and time per frame. Frames are read left-to-right, top-to-bottom from the sprite sheet.

public override void OnDraw()
{
    walkingAnimation.Draw(position, direction, Colors.White);
}

Animations loop by default. Set PlayOnce to true if the animation should stop on the last frame. You can also pause, reset, or manually set the animation time:

walkingAnimation.IsPaused = true;
walkingAnimation.Reset();
walkingAnimation.AnimationTime = 0.5f;

But probably, you want multiple animations all in one convenient system. Fear not:

public enum Animation
{
    Idle,
    Walking
}

TextureAnimationManager<Animation> animationManager = new();
animationManager.RegisterAnimation(idleAnimation, Animation.Idle);
animationManager.RegisterAnimation(walkAnimation, Animation.Walking);

public void Walk(float direction)
{
    position.X += direction * walkSpeed;
    animationManager.State = Animation.Walking;
}

public override void OnDraw()
{
    animationManager.Draw(position, direction, Colors.White);
}

You can also access the current TextureAnimation directly through animationManager.CurrentAnimation if you need finer control.
