Animations & Sprites

 For my game I needed to have a running state, an idle state and a jumping state. I used flash to create animations for all of these states.

In the tutorial we had about sprite sheets, Ben said that we had to export each image individually as a png as creating a sequence would not work. I had class mates who disagreed but I could not get a sequence to export all as one. Instead I did each animation indivudually. After this I could not get a sprite sheet maker to work. I could not figure out how to use Bens and so turned to alternatives such as Sprite Monkey, Spritesheet Packer and Sprite Tracker. None of these worked, returning error messages or unable to deliver the amount of frames to a page I needed. Because of this I had to upload each frame manually into Stencyl after first resizing it in photoshop.
