Custom Animation System + Extra Goodies

[MasochisticGamer]

MFA Requirements: INI++

As the title says, this is a custom animation system for people who want more control over their active objects. This is based off the work done by Chloe Sagal at TDC with added features:

Load Animation Data from INI
Frame Skipping
No Need for Duplicate Frames
Swap Direction of Player Sprite Using the Effect Function
Palette Swapping Without the Swap Color Function

I hope you guys find this tutorial useful. I plan on using this system for my Castlevania and Mega Man engines. Special thanks to Chloe for the article on TDC!
