Walk cycles are hard\u2026<\/p>\n<p>But yay, I\u2019ve got animations for running, jumping, sliding, blocking, punching, kicking, and shooting. All thanks to the awesome <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickleeditor.com\/\">Pickle editor<\/a>. Because I could see the animations looping over and over again while I edited them, I could use trial and error and ended up coming up with some pretty nice stuff. You\u2019d never guess by just looking at a still frame.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe I should start writing some actual code about now? <img alt=\":P\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_razz.gif\"\/><\/p>\n<div style=\"float: right;border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 2px;background: #fff;\"><div class=\"iLikeThis\" id=\"iLikeThis-169247\"><span class=\"counter\"><a class=\"image\" onclick=\"likeThis(169247);\">7<\/a><\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"postmetadata\">\n<small>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThis entry was posted\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\ton Sunday, August 26th, 2012 at 1:42 am\t\t\t\t\t\tand is filed under <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/category\/ld-24\/\" rel=\"category tag\">LD #24<\/a>.\n\t\t\t\t\t\tYou can follow any responses to this entry through the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/08\/26\/animating-is-hard\/feed\/\">RSS 2.0<\/a> feed.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYou can <a href=\"#respond\">leave a response<\/a>, or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/2012\/08\/26\/animating-is-hard\/trackback\/\" rel=\"trackback\">trackback<\/a> from your own site.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/small>\n<\/p>","time":"August 26th, 2012 1:42 am","title":"Animating is hard\u2026","title_was_empty":false}
